Because of non-disjunction in some stocks of Drosophila. melanogaster, about 1 in 65,000 egg cells have two copies of the X chromosome and about 1 in 375 egg cells have no X chromosome. Assuming that meiosis in males is always normal', what is the expected frequency of XXX females and XO males arising from any number of fertilized eggs? Do not be concerned as to whether it is lethal or not.
