Question

Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, is a model organism due to the similar relationship 
between fruit fly and human genes and similar sex chromosome behavior, among other 
characteristics. Researchers studying fruit fly characteristics have discovered a new trait: blue 
eyes. To investigate the inheritance of the blue-eyed trait, researchers have performed multiple 
crosses (Tables 1 and 2).
