In fruit flies, what kind of eye color would be expressed in male progeny from a white-eyed female and a red-eyed male?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), the gene for eye color is located on the X chromosome. Since males have only one X chromosome (XY), they inherit their X chromosome from their mother and their Y chromosome from their father. If the mother is white-eyed (which is a recessive trait), she must have two copies of the white-eyed allele (w w) on both of her X chromosomes. The father, being red-eyed, has at least one dominant allele for red eyes (X^W Y), but since males contribute a Y chromosome to their sons, the sons inherit their X chromosome (with the white-eyed allele) from their mother. Therefore, all male progeny will have white eyes.
