Half of the mice (all males) have yellow body colour while the females are wild type(gray) in a cross between true-breeding wild type male flies and true-breeding female flies with yellow body colour. This, most likely, is due to the fact that:

1. Some of your females had already mated with yellow males before you collected them.
2. Some of your parental flies must have had a new mutation in their germ cells.
3. The mutation which causes yellow body color is on the X chromosome.
4. The mutation which causes yellow body color is on the Y chromosome.
