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.
