If winged dragons are represented by the dominant allele (W) and wingless dragons by the recessive allele (w), a heterozygous dragon would have the genotype Ww. When a wingless dragon (ww) is crossed with a heterozygous dragon (Ww), the possible genotypes of the offspring are WW, Ww, and ww. This results in a 50% chance of offspring being wingless (ww).
