Cross between a white-eyed female and a white-eyed male drosophila?

For fruit flies, having white eyes is a recessive trait. It is also a sex-discriminant trait because its gene is located on the X sex chromosome. So knowing this, let's decide what the genotypes of the flies are.Your white-eyed female is expressing a recessive trait and because it is female, it has two X sex chromosomes. The gene for eye color is on both of these chromosomes. If the fly had the gene for red eyes on either or both of these chromosomes, it would be the dominant trait and would cause the fly to have red eyes, but it doesn't. So we deduce that the female's genotype is ww or two recessive genes.Your white-eyed male is expressing a recessive trait and has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. Because only X chromosomes contain the gene for eye color, we can ignore the Y chromosome in this situation. We deduce that the male fly's genotype is wY for eye color, or one recessive gene and a Y chromosome that is indicated for gender.The next generation will not have any w+ or wild type red eye color at all. 50% of your next generation's flies will be white eyed males and 50% of your next generation's flies will be white eyed females.


How can you control your mind?

One way to control the mind is silence. The moment we shut off our five senses, and still our movements, the mind will still wander but it will slow down. As we slow down the pace of the mind, it will reduce producing thoughts like a popcorn machine. Slowly and steadily, the practice of silence can get us to control our mind. However, we all have been given an instrument known as the intellect. The intellect controls thoughts. The mind is nothing but thoughts. When we activate our intellect to discriminate between thoughts, to choose what is right from wrong, then we will slowly and steadily get a control of our mind.
