A mutant gene that produces brown eyes (bw) is located on chromosome #2 of Drosophila melanogaster, whereas a mutant gene producing bright red eyes, scarlet (st), is located on chromosome #3. Phenotypically, wild-type flies (with dull red eyes), whose
mothers had brown eyes and whose fathers had scarlet eyes, were mated. The 800 offspring possessed the following phenotypes: wild type (dull red), white, scarlet (bright red), and brown. Most of the 800 offspring had wild-type eyes, whereas those with white eyes were the least frequent.
From the information presented above, how many white-eyed flies would you expect in the F2 generation?
A) 50 B) 150 C) 350 D) 450 E) 200
