Why are common names not a good reference to a species

Because different places have different names, even if they all speak English. In the U.S. we say "ladybug" while in the U.K. they say "ladybird" Scientific names are the same everywhere.

Scientists stay away from names common names because they are often not speficic  to a particular such as one species. Biologist uses these specific names to identify the different species.

The answer would be c, white eyes are homozygous recessive. in the early 1900s, morgan conducted several experiments with vinegar  flies (drosophila). one  sample revealed an anomaly: a  white-eyed, single male fly. he attempted to breed this fly with the typical red-eyed females. the offspring were all red-eyed. using flies from this new generation (brother-sister pairs)  produced some red-eyed and a few white-eyed flies. the white-eyed were all male. in later experiments, he was able to produce white-eyed females. this proved that white eyes are not lethal to either sex (ruling out a and b). since the percentage of white eyes to red eyes is so low, white eyes are not a dominant trait. it would be a recessive trait.
