A)located on the X chromosome.
B)located on the Y chromosome.

D)located on an autosome.
E)codominant.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Morgan's experiments demonstrated that the white eye allele was located on the X chromosome, as it followed a pattern of inheritance consistent with sex-linked inheritance. The Y chromosome is not involved in determining eye color in Drosophila, and the white eye allele was not found to be dominant or codominant. The possibility of it being located on an autosome was ruled out based on the observed inheritance pattern.
