		A male fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) with red eyes and long 
		wings was mated with a female with purple eyes and vestigial wings. All 
		of the offspring in the F1, generation had red eyes and long 
		wings. These F1 flies were test crossed with purple-eyed, 
		vestigial-winged flies. Their offspring, the F2 generation, 
		appeared as indicated below. 
		
		F2 Generation: 
		
		         
		125  red eyes, long 
		wings 
		
		         
		124  purple eyes, 
		vestigial wings 
		
		           
		18  purple eyes, long 
		wings

35. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked recessive trait that results in 
muscle deterioration. Death usually occurs before puberty. Assuming that no 
individual with the disease reaches puberty and passes on their gene to the next 
generation, how can the appearance of the disease be explained in females?
A. Affected females are homozygous recessive for the Duchenne allele.
B. Affected females are homozygous dominant for the Duchenne allele.
C. In females heterozygous for the Duchenne MD, both alleles are expressed in 
muscle cells.
D. In females heterozygous for Duchenne MD, X-inactivation in muscle cells of 
the chromosome with the normal allele allows expression of the disease.
E. The disease cannot occur in females
