In fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), there are multiple genes that influence eye color. One of these genes, located on the X chromosome, affects whether a fly has white or red eyes. The allele for white eyes is recessive to the allele for red eyes. In addition, there are multiple genes in fruit flies that control wing shape. One of these genes, located on chromosome 2, affects whether a fly has wild type or vestigial wings. The allele for vestigial wings is recessive to the allele for wild type wings. A true-breeding female with white eyes and wild type wings is crossed with a male that has red eyes and vestigial wings. What proportion of the resulting offspring is expected to be female with red eyes and wild type wings?
