If a WW male mates with a Ww female, what percentage of offspring are going to have long wings?

All the offspring will have long wings. Because the male can only produce gametes with the W allele, and each offspring gets a set of chromosomes from its father, all the offspring will have at least one W allele, and thus show the dominant trait.

This is pretty easy. There are only two possibilities for allele combinations: WW and Ww, both of which yield long wings. The percentage is 100%.

I haven't taken any genetics classes for a few years now but I'm pretty positive this is (correct) basic info

100% long wings (phenotypically)
50:50 homozygous : heterozygous

If you were to do an F2 generation (Ww x Ww) it would be
75% long wings, 25% short wings (phenotype)
25% homozygous long, 50% heterozygous long, 25% homozygous short.

there are only two combinations
WW and Ww
since long wings are dominant, it will cover short wings.
100% will have long wings
