T.H. Morgan’s Fruit Fly Simulation (Sex-Linked Inheritance)

T.H. Morgan’s Fruit Fly Sex-Linked Inheritance Simulation

Explore the inheritance of the white eye trait in *Drosophila melanogaster*.

Use W for the dominant Red eye allele and w for the recessive white eye allele. This gene is located on the X chromosome; the Y chromosome does not carry this gene.
