The strange result of T.H. Morgan was:
Correct answer: C. Neither of female white eyed
- A. All the male were red eyed
- B. All the female were white eyed
- C. Neither of female white eyed
- D. All of the above
Explanation
The strange result observed by T.H. Morgan during his experiments with fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) was the absence of any female flies with white eyes. In his experiments, Morgan observed that while male fruit flies with white eyes (a recessive trait) could be produced, no female fruit flies with white eyes were observed, despite the fact that according to Mendelian genetics, both males and females should inherit traits in a similar manner.
