Sex-Linked Inheritance Problem Set 
Problem 2: Test cross of a red-eyed female fly
A female Drosophila of unknown genotype was crossed with a white-eyed male fly, of genotype   (w = white eye allele is recessive, w+= red-eye allele is dominant.) Half of the male and half of the female offspring were red-eyed, and half of the male and half of the female offspring were white-eyed.  What was the genotype of the female fly?
