In fruit flies, eye color is a sex-linked trait. Red (R) is dominant to white (r).
Which genotype shows a female fly with white eyes?
XRXr
XRXR
XrXr
X and Y are (a) chromosomes. Females are (b) and males are (c) .
(a) are more likely to have an x-linked trait because males have only (b) X chromosome. Females can be (c) of an X-linked trait because they can be (d) for the trait since they have (e) X's.
H= normal blood clotting
h=hemophilia

What is the probability that any of their offspring will have hemophilia?
