In fruit flies eye color is a sex linked trait where red eyes are dominant to the white eye phenotype. If a male with red eyes is crossed with a purebred white eye female, what is the ratio of eye color and sex phenotypes for their offspring?

A. 1 red eye female : 0 white eye female: 0 red eye male : 1 white eye male

B. 2 red eye female : 1 white eye female: 0 red eye male : 1 white eye male

C. 1 red eye female : 1 white eye female: 1 red eye male : 1 white eye male

D. 0 red eye female : 1 white eye female: 1 red eye male : 0 white eye male

If you answer the incorrect answer I will report you!

Answer:

2 red eye females : 2 white eye males

Explanation:

The ratio of eye color and sex phenotypes for their offspring would be 2 red eye females : 2 white eye males.

Let the allele for eye color be represented by A (red eye) and the alternate form a (white eye).

In fruitfly, XY individuals are males while XX are females.

Hence;

A male with red eye will have the genotype - [tex]X^AY[/tex]

A purebred white eye female will have the genotype - [tex]X^aX^a[/tex]

Crossing the male and the female:

[tex]X^AY[/tex]   x   [tex]X^aX^a[/tex]

Progeny: [tex]X^AX^a, X^AX^a, X^aY, X^aY[/tex]

Phenotypes of the progeny:

2 [tex]X^AX^a[/tex] - red eye, females

2 [tex]X^aY[/tex] - white eye, males.

The ratio of eye color and sex phenotypes of their offspring are 2 red eye females : 2 white eye males

Let the allele for eye color be represented by A (red eye) and the alternate form a (white eye).

In fruitfly, XY individuals are males while XX are females.

Hence;

A purebred white eye female will have the genotype -

Crossing the male and the female:

Progeny:

Phenotypes of the progeny:

2  - red eye, females

2  - white eye, males.

The ratio of eye color and sex phenotypes of their offspring are 2 red eye females : 2 white eye males
