Male fruit flies are more likely than female fruit flies to have white eyes.

Explain why.

A female fruit fly with white eyes was crossed with a male fruit fly with red eyes to produce a large number of offspring.

Tick (✓) one box next to the statement which correctly describes the phenotypes produced from this cross.

☐ Equal numbers of red-eyed males and white-eyed males

☐ Equal numbers of red-eyed females and white-eyed females

☐ Equal numbers of red-eyed males and red-eyed females

☐ Equal numbers of white-eyed males and white-eyed females

Explain the results in Table 2.

The first generation of a population of fruit flies had 50 females.

Calculate how many female fruit flies would be produced from this population in the fifth generation.

You can assume: each female produces 400 offspring each generation, half the offspring produced each generation are female, there is no immigration or emigration, no flies die before reproducing.
