Best Answer

Male and female fruit flies can be distinguished from each other in three ways: 1) Only males have a sex comb, a fringe of black bristles on the forelegs. 2) The tip of the abdomen is elongate and somewhat pointed in females and more rounded in males. 3) The abdomen of the female has seven segments, whereas that of the male has only five segments.

What offspring would result from a cross of a homozygous red-eyed female fruit fly and a vermilion-eyed male fruit fly?

When Morgan mated a white-eyed male fruit fly with a red-eyed female fruit fly, the first generation offspring all had red eyes. In the next generation, because females would have the X chromosome for white eyes, about half the offspring would have white eyes. The offspring with white eyes were all male, meaning he discovered eye color in fruit flies showed a sex-linked trait. The result of this was a generation of red eyed and white eyed individuals. If the red eyed female was heterozygous, this is possible.
