In Thomas Hunt Morgan's experiments, the ratio of red-eyed flies to white-eyed flies appeared to follow a simple Mendelian pattern of inheritance. What observation(s) did he make that led to his conclusion that the white-eyed trait was actually not a simple Mendelian trait?

A. He was able to correlate the expression of white eyes to the inheritance of an X chromosome.
B. He saw that only males had white eyes.
C. He observed that the white-eyed trait was recessive.
D. He was able to correlate the expression of white eyes to the inheritance of a Y chromosome because only F2 males had white eyes and the trait is recessive.
E. He was able to correlate the expression of white eyes to the inheritance of an X chromosome because only F2 males had white eyes and the trait is recessive.


E. He was able to correlate the expression of white eyes to the inheritance of an X chromosome because only F2 males had white eyes and the trait is recessive.
