Final answer:

When white-eyed female fruit flies are bred with red-eyed male fruit flies, the expected offspring will include red-eyed females, red-eyed males, and white-eyed females.


Explanation:

When white-eyed female fruit flies are bred with red-eyed male fruit flies, the expected offspring will include red-eyed females (XWXw), red-eyed males (XWY), and white-eyed females (XwXw), with all male offspring having red eyes due to hemizygosity.
