Reference no: EM13526697

The autosomal recessive gene transformer (tra) mutation converts chromosomal females into sterile males. A female Drosophila that is heterozygous for the tra allele is mated with a normal male homozygous for transformer. What is the sex ratios of the F1 and F2 generations?
