148
Q

in fruit flies what determines eye color

A

gene that determines eye color is located on the X-chromosome

149
Q

how do male flies develop white eyes

A

they should inherit x-linked recessive allele (white eye allele) from their mom only

150
Q

how do female flies develop white eyes

A

they should inherit 2x-linked recessive alleles one from each parent

151
Q

why are males more likely to have x-linked disorders than females

A

because they have only 1x chromosome, while females have 2x chromosomes
