In Drosophila, white eye is inherited as an X-linked recessive. Apterous wing is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. A female heterozygous at both loci is crossed with a white eyed male that is heterozygous for apterous. Of all the offspring, what fraction will be female and white eyed? a. 1/2 b. 3/4 c. 1/4 d. none
