See also Fig. 201, Fig. 202, and Fig. 203. mated with a normal Red-eye female, homozygous for Red. The Fi generation then, as usual, are male and female in equal num- bers. The females derive one of their X chromosomes from the father, which contains the gene for White eye, and one from the mother, which contains the normal allelomorph. Red. The females are therefore heterozygous for eye color; since Red is dominant, the phenotype is Red eye. The males of the Fi generation derive their X chromosome from the mother and are therefore Red Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Buchanan, James William, 1888-.
