Female flies with white eyes and miniature wings (both X-linkedrecessive traits) were crossed to male flies with red eyes and longwings. On rare occasions, female offspring were produced withwhite eyes. If we assume these females are due to errors in meiosis, what would be the most likely chromosomal composition ofsuch flies? What would be their wing length?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
