In Drosophila yellow body color is caused by a sex-linked recessive allele and brown eye color is an autosomal recessive trait. A phenotypically normal female fly, heterozygous for both genes, is crossed to a male with normal body color and brown eyes. What proportion of their offspring should have yellow body color and brown eyes?
