Gene for eye color is sex-linked

Reference no: EM13526796

In fruit flies, the gene for eye color is sex-linked (X-chromosome) and red eye color is dominant over white. The gene for body color is an autosomal trait with gray dominant over black. A heterozygous red-eyed, pure-bred gray female mates with a heterozygous gray male who has red eyes. What is the probability that any of the offspring produced have he following traits? You must show your work (i.e. Punnett squares) to get credit.

a. Red eyes
b. gray body
c. white eyed female
d. white eyes and heterozygous gray body
e. female and red eyed gray body
