In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, red eye colour (R) is dominant to white eye colour (r). A student wishes to perform a test cross to determine whether a female red eyed fruit fly is homozygous or heterozygous for the eye colour. The student mates the female fruit fly with a red eye coloured male and studies the offspring, which are 100% red eye. The student concludes that the genotype of the female fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is "RR". What mistake(s) did the student make if any? Briefly explain in bullet points
