The autosomal recessive allele bw, for brown eyes in Drosophila interacts with the X-linked recessive allele, v, for vermilion eyes, since flies that are recessive for both genes have white eyes. Wild type flies have red eyes. What eye color phenotypes, in what proportions, would be expected in the progeny from a cross of a white-eyed female and a brown eyed male? Choose the best answer. Select one: O A. all males with vermilion eyes, all females with red eyes O B. all females with brown eyes, all males with white eyes O C. all females with brown eyes, all males with brown eyes O D. all males and females would have vermilion eyes O E. all females with white eyes, 1/2 of the males with brown eyes, and 1/2 white eyes The autosomal recessive allele bw, for brown eyes in Drosophila interacts with the X-linked recessive allele, v, for vermilion eyes, since flies that are recessive for both genes have white eyes.
