red-eyed $, (criss-cross inheritance). Fi, red-eyed 9. white-eyed $. 



F2, red-eyed 9 and $ ; white-eyed 9 and $ . To right, sex chromo- 

 somes (as in Fig. 35). 



Fig. 37 (upper two lines). If the Fi red-eyed male 

 from the first cross (Fig. 35) is bred to a white-eyed

 eyed sons. Fig. 37 (lower two lines). 



The same relations may next be illustrated by an-
