Fruit flies does not deal with any incomplete dominance traits. Incomplete dominance is a form of inheritance in which one allele is not complete express over it’s pair genes therefore resulting in a new phenotype. Fruit flies did not produce any new different phenotype which is why it does not deal with incomplete dominance. Onthe other hand, fruit flies does deal with sex-linked traits. The se-link traits that was experiment in the fruit flies lab was the eye traits. The traits for the eye in the fruit flies are located in the X-chromosome which determine the outcome of the offspring for the male gender since the Y-chromosome does not carry any eye traits. The data collected show that the F2 generation of the female does not carry any white eye while on the other hand, the male gender was able to carry white eyes. The genotype for the parent (P1) were determined by the phonetype and the outcome of the F1 and F2 generation. Since red eye are dominant over white eye and normal wings are dominant to vestigial wing. The male parent have white eye and normal wing, so the male parent must carry the homozygous recessive allele for the white eye but because of the sex-link trait, the male only carry one allele on the X-chromosome which determine the eye trait.

Since we have six different type of phenotype for the result for the F2 offspring, six would minus one therefore the the number of degree of freedom being used for the lab report would be five degree of freedom.
The Chi square number for the fruit flies problem is 0.795.
The number 11.072 determined whether the hypothesis is supported or not supported because based on Chi square 5% or less is not supported while a higher percentage of five is supported by the hypothesis.
The hypothesis for the genotype and phenotype of the fruit flies was supported by the data. The hypothesis has 70% or higher meaning that the hypothesis is supported by the data. Even though, the hypothesis was supported mathematically, it does not guarantee that it is 100% correct.
One thing learned about genetics through the fruit flies problem is that fruit flies also have sex-link traits similarly like the human. For example, the eye colors in fruit flies and the color blindness for the human traits; both sex-link traits are determined by the female allele therefore most of the male are the one that carries these
