If the female white eyed fruit fly has a homozygous recessive gene with white encoding alleles, it produces a phenotype of white eyes. And if the male is hemizygous dominant,it produces phenotype of red eyes.
Since the gene for eye colour is encoded by a gene on X- chromosome, female carries 2 X chromosome (XX) and male carry 1X and 1 Y(XY). Therefore this is an X- linked inheritance.
