Four eye-color mutants in 
Drosophila — apricot, brown, carnation, and purple — are inherited as recessive traits. Red is the dominant wild-type color of fruit-fly eyes. Eight crosses (A to H) are made between parents from pure-breeding lines. The results are shown in the table.

Part A

Which of these eye-color mutants are X-linked recessive?

Check all that apply.

Part B

Which of these eye-color mutants are autosomal recessive?

Check all that apply.
