Answer:

Gene is present on the X chromosome.

Explanation:

The two main types of chromosomes are autosomes and sex chromosomes. Autosomes regulates the functioning of the body but do not play role in determining the sex of an individual. The sex chromosomes distinguishes between the male and female.

The linkage of sex chromosomes is present in Drosophila as well. The cross between the F1 generation leads to both the red and white eyed flies because the eye color gene is present on the X chromosome. The males contain only one X chromosome and the presence of recessive gene results in the white color whereas in females both the X chromosomes must contain recessive gene for the white color.  

Thus, the answer is gene involved is on the X chromosome.

Answer:

The dominant phenotypes are Long flagella and one vacuole, and the recessive phenotypes are small flagella and two vacuoles.

Explanation:

As you can see in the attached table

1. For the size of the flagella we gave that:

- 241 organisms have long flagella

- 79 organisms have short flagella,

As there are more organisms with long flagella we can conclude that this is the dominant phenotype while the short flagella is the recessive phenotype.

2. For the number of vacuole we have:

- 247 organisms have one vacuole

- 73 organisms have two vacuole

As there are more organisms with one vacuole we can conclude that this is the dominant phenotype while having two vacuoles a is the recessive phenotype.

Then

Dominant phenotypes = Long flagella and one vacuole

Recessive phenotypes = Short flagella and two vacuoles
