Answer:

rr

Step-by-step explanation:

Dominant alleles will always be visible on a creature if they are at all present, such as with brown eyes in humans (i.e. Rr or RR). People with blue eyes (or fruit flies with white eyes) possess two recessive alleles (rr), which is the only way for a recessive trait to be present.
