Sex-Linked Inheritance Problem Set 2
Problem 2: Predicting the genotype of a male fly
The alleles for eye color and for body color are on the X chromosome of Drosophila, but not on the Y. Red eye color (w+) is dominant to white eye color (w), and tan body color (y+ ) is dominant to yellow body color (y).
What is the genotype of a tan-bodied, white-eyed male?
