1 answer:
The male fruit fly has an XY profile of the sex chromosomes, and the female has an XX profile of the sex chromosomes.
If a male is white-eyed, then it must have a white recessive allele on his only X chromosome and the red eyed female can be homozygous (having two dominant red eye alleles) or heterozygous (having both a dominant and a recessive allele).
If the female is homozygous then all of the offspring will be red-eyed, and if she's heterozygous then half of the offspring will be white eyed. (see the table provided below)

The main aspect used to differ coniferous tree are their leaves. Coniferous leaves look like elongated needles, instead of the regular flatend out leaves we're used to
Further characteristics:
Seeds are hard and grow in large groups, stuck to eachother.
Coniferous are evergreen trees (don't shed leaves nor change the colour of these, although this rule does not apply to all of them).
They have spread worldwide.
Can withstand low temperaurees and can be found even in places like the Artic circle.

Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
