Where is the gene for fruit flies eye color?

The gene for fruit fly eye color is located on the X chromosome. It codes for a protein called "eye color," which determines the pigmentation in the eyes of the fruit fly. Mutations in this gene can lead to different eye colors in fruit flies.


What is the purpose of the fruit fly lab?

The purpose of the fruit fly lab is to study genetics and inheritance patterns in Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as fruit flies. These insects have a short lifecycle, making them ideal for genetic studies. By observing traits passed down through generations, scientists can better understand how genes work and are inherited.


What is the location of the eye color of a fruit fly meaning which chromosome?

The locus for eye color is on the X chromosome.


Which trait is most likely linked to having a curved wing in the fruit fly?

The vestigial gene is the trait most likely linked to having a curved wing in the fruit fly. Flies with vestigial wings cannot fly.


What is the genotype of a red-eyed male fruit fly?

Red eyes is a dominant sex-linked gene in the fruit fly. Males with red eyes have the genotype XRY, where R is for the red gene.


How big is the fruit fly genes?

The size of a gene can vary, there is no specific size. However, the average human gene consists of 3000 base pairs (or about 1/1000mm). That's about 1/100 of the width of a human hair.


When was To Demonstrate How Spiders Fly created?

To Demonstrate How Spiders Fly was created in 1909.


What is the phenotype of a fruit fly?

The phenotype of a fruit fly refers to its physical characteristics, such as eye color, wing shape, or body size. These traits can be influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and studying them helps researchers understand inheritance patterns and gene function.


What does the antennapedia gene control What happens if it misfires?

The antennapedia gene (fruit flies) controls development of the legs. Should it not work properly, the fly will have ectopic antennae instead of a second part of legs.


What genotype represents a white eyed male fruit fly?

The genotype for a white-eyed male fruit fly is X^wY, where X is the sex chromosome and Y is the Y chromosome. The w denotes the gene for white eyes located on the X chromosome. This genotype indicates that the male fruit fly has a white-eye phenotype due to the recessive white eye allele.


What is the full latin name of the fruit fly?
