Body color in Drosophila is X-linked. Imagine a gene where allele E is dominant and produces gray bodies, while allele e
is recessive and produces yellow bodies. If a homozygous yellow female is crossed with a grey male, the progeny
would be
3 gray females : 1 yellow male
O 1 gray female : 1 yellow female : 1 gray male : 1 yellow male
O all females are gray and all males are yellow.
9 gray females : 3 yellow females : 3 gray males : 1 yellow male

In hamsters the gene for black fur color is on the X chromosome. The dominant allele produces black fur and the
recessive allele produces white fur. Oreo is a female hamster with black and white patches of fur.
