1. In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, the gene for eye colour is sex linked. The allele for the red eye is dominant to the allele for white eye. In an experiment, a red-eyed female was crossed with a white-eyed male. Two fruit flies of the F1 generation were then crossed. The following F2 phenotypes were produced: red- eyed females red-eyed males white-eyed males 95 49 56
