In Drosophila,an individual female fly was observed to be of the XXY chromosome complement (normal autosomal complement)and to have white eyes as contrasted with the normal red eye color of wild type.The female's father had red eyes,and the mother had white eyes.Knowing that white eyes are X-linked and recessive,present an explanation for the genetic and chromosomal constitution of the XXY,white-eyed individual.It is important that you state in which parent and at what stage the chromosomal event occurred that caused the genetic and cytogenetic abnormality.
