Final answer:

The ratio of offspring from a cross between a white-eyed male and a heterozygous female for red eye color results in a mix of eye color combinations in the offspring due to X-linked inheritance.


Explanation:

The ratio of offspring resulting from a cross between a white-eyed male and a female heterozygous for red eye color would be:

  1. 50% heterozygous females with red eyes (XWX")
  2. 50% homozygous recessive females with white eyes (XWX")
  3. 50% hemizygous dominant males with red eyes (XWY)
  4. 50% hemizygous recessive males with white eyes (XY)

This outcome is due to how X-linked traits are inherited, affecting males and females differently based on their genotype.
