In flies, long wings are a dominant trait, and short wings are a recessive trait. Medium wings are the heterozygous trait. Based on this information, if a homozygous long-winged fly is crossed with another a heterozygous fly, their offspring will have which percentages for long, medium, and short wings? Assume random chromosome segregation.
