Question
Morgan obtained a white-eyed male fly in a population containing many red-eyed flies that he thought were truebreeding. As mentioned in the experiment, he crossed this fly with
several red-eyed females, and all the offspring had red eyes. But
actually this is not quite true. Morgan observed 1237 red-eyed flies
and 3 white-eyed males. Provide two or more explanations why he
obtained 3 white-eyed males in the F1 generation.
