    The likely genotype of a fruit fly with short wings is Only ll.

    Explanation:

    There are two types of traits, Dominant and recessive. For a dominant trait only single copy of gene is sufficient for a phenotype to appear. So LL and Ll both will result in long wings. While in a recessive trait both copies should be identical for the phenotype to appear. only ll genotype will result in short wing fruit fly.
