Answer:

d. 100% of the females with red eyes, 100% of the males with white eyes

Explanation: sex linked gene are usually linked with sexes and fruits flies is one fly that exhibit such traits. The first generation of the cross will give us all males with white eyes and all female with Red eyes 100% from both male and female

Oseni

Based on the assumption that red-eye is represented by R allele and white by r allele, 100% of the females would be red-eyed while 100% of the males would be white-eyed.

The cross will produce the following genotypes and their respective phenotypes:

  • [tex]X^RX^r[/tex] - red-eye, female
  • [tex]X^RX^r[/tex] - red-eye, female
  • [tex]X^rY[/tex] - white eye, male
  • [tex]X^rY[/tex] - white-eye, male

Thus, all the females from the cross will be red-eyed while all the males will be white-eyed.
