Answer:
The correct answer is : the female chromosome
Explanation:
- According to the question, it is mentioned that R is a dominant allele, responsible for the red eyes.
- RR is a genotype for Red eyes.
- A fruitfly has a diploid genotype which means each trait is represented by a pair of chromosomes.
- In the above question, the dominant red eye colour trait is represented by the pair of chromosomes RR.
- Therefore, XX must represent another trait.
- By convention, a pair of X chromosomes (XX) represent a female and a combination of X and Y chromosomes (XY) represents a male.
- Given XX genotype represent a female fruitfly chromosome.
