Answer:
Half of the F1 offspring will have the Colorium phenotype
Explanation:
The Colorium has an autosomal dominant trait, so we can say the genotype of colorium phenotype is either OO or Oo and the non-colorium is oo.
In the initial cross(F1), the cross between male with colorium (OO or Oo) and female without colorium (oo) will be:
Let use the cross between Oo × oo
we will have: Oo, Oo, oo, oo (check the document below to view the punnet square of the cross)
From the results above, only half of the individuals get colorium, but in the question it is stated that the breeding produces F1 offspring that all have the Colorium phenotype.
Let's look at another cross between OO × oo
we will have: Oo,Oo,Oo,Oo (check the document below to view the punnet square of the cross)
From the above cross, all the F1 generation having colorium phenotype.
This implies that the genotype of colorium phenotype is OO
True breeding implies that the parents are homozygous and not heterozygous . As such If we make a complementation cross with true breeding flies.(i.e a true breeding female without Colorium) and the product of the F1 Ggeneration, we wil have:
the complementary cross between Oo × oo
which are: Oo,Oo,oo,oo (check the document below to view the punnet square of the cross)
Therefore, we conclude that Half of the F1 offspring will have the Colorium phenotype
