Phenotypic distributions are consistent with a 1:2:1 ratio as evaluated by χ2, df = 2. 

Phenotypic distributions are consistent with segregation of a sex-linked gene as evaluated by χ2, df = 3. 

The mariner insertion in this family results in a homozygous lethal phenotype and a 2:1 ratio of colored-eye/white-eye surviving animals. The observed phenotypic distributions are consistent with this interpretation as evaluated by χ2, df = 2.
