1. **State the problem:** We have two fruit flies, both heterozygous for body color (Gg), and we want to find the expected offspring phenotypes.
2. **Recall the genetics rule:** Gray body color (G) is dominant over black (g). Heterozygous means genotype Gg.
3. **Set up the Punnett square:**
$$\begin{array}{c|cc}
& G & g \\
\hline
G & GG & Gg \\
g & Gg & gg \\
\end{array}$$
4. **Determine genotypes and phenotypes:**
- GG: gray
- Gg: gray
- gg: black
5. **Calculate probabilities:**
- GG: 1 out of 4
- Gg: 2 out of 4
- gg: 1 out of 4
6. **Calculate phenotype percentages:**
- Gray (GG + Gg) = $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4} = 75\%$
- Black (gg) = $\frac{1}{4} = 25\%$
7. **Answer:** The offspring will be 75% gray and 25% black.
**Final answer: C. 75% gray, 25% black**
