A mutation in the fruit fly's germline cells, such as sperm or egg cells, can be passed on to its offspring. These mutations occur in the DNA sequence of the germline cells and can be inherited by the next generation. Somatic mutations, which occur in the non-reproductive cells of the fruit fly, are not passed on to offspring.

What was the result when Morgan mated white-eyed fruit fly with a red-eye female fruit fly?
All the offspring had red eyes. The white eye trait is recessive, so it did not appear in the offspring.
If a white eyed male fruit fly were crossed with a heterozygous red eyed female fruit fly what ratio of genotypes would be expected in the offspring?
In this case, the genotype of the white-eyed male fruit fly would be XwY, and the genotype of the heterozygous red-eyed female fruit fly would be XRXw. The expected ratio of genotypes in the offspring would be 1:1 for XRY (red-eyed males) and XRXw (red-eyed females).
When a certain pure strain of fruit fly is cultured at a temperature of 16C all of the fruit flies will develop straight wings. the offspring of these flies will develop curly wings if they are develo?
It seems your question got cut off. Could you please provide more details so I can assist you effectively?
What can fruit flies reveal about inheritance?
Fruit flies are a powerful asset when studying inheritance because their chromosomes are visible with light microscopes, and they reproduce rather quickly! They can reproduce in a matter of a couple weeks, with around hundreds of offspring! Thus it is easier to see phenotypic patterns as well as genotypic inheritance in fruit flies.
How were fruit flies used in genetic search?
Fruit flies were used in genetic research to study inheritance patterns and mutations. Their short life cycle and ability to produce many offspring quickly allowed researchers to study multiple generations in a short time span. This helped scientists identify genes responsible for specific traits and understand how they are passed down through generations.
When are mutations are passed on to offspring?
A mutation can be passed on if it occurs in a sex cell. This is because offspring have a copy of the parent's genetic code, so any mutation that is present here will also be present in the offspring.
What is an inherited trait for a tomato plant?
An inherited trait for a tomato plant could be its fruit size, color, or resistance to a specific disease. These traits are passed down from parent plants to their offspring through their genetic information.
What was the result when Morgan mated white-eyed fruit fly with a red-eye female fruit fly?
All the offspring had red eyes. The white eye trait is recessive, so it did not appear in the offspring.
What is a fruit Hibrid?
I'm not sure what a fruit hybrid is but a hybrid is something that is an offspring of two different animals ,normally. This offspring cannot produce young as it has an odd number of chromosomes. Such as a mule a cross between a horse and a donkey.x
How are seedless fruit brought into existence?
Seedless fruit are most commonly created by not fertilizing a plant. Some seedless fruits exist because of a genetic mutation.
How do you get your banana grass to grow something other than bananas?
Genetic mutation. Banana trees, which are technically a grass, provide the banana fruit. This cannot change except by severe genetic mutation.
What does nectarine mean?
A Nectarine is a smooth skinned fruit similar to a Peach. Sometimes it's a somatic mutation of a peach.
What happens if no fertilization occur?
In plants - no seeds, no fruit. In most animals - no baby. In some insects - male offspring. When these insects' eggs ARE fertilized you get female offspring!
What is the function of tyhe pericarp?
Thinks of everything as a species that main goal is to survive and pass on it's offspring. A plant has an option to create shoots or fruit. When it is placed in an stressful environment it produces fruit so that it's progeny can be passed. The fruit has a pericarp surrounding a seed. The pericarps main function is to be desirable and in a sense, delicious. This increase the probability of being eaten and transported during consumption by an animal
Where is fruit of lions found in the Bible?
The word in that expression being loins, not lions, and loins being the lowest part of the abdomen, the fruit of of someone's loins is their offspring.
If a white eyed male fruit fly were crossed with a heterozygous red eyed female fruit fly what ratio of genotypes would be expected in the offspring?
In this case, the genotype of the white-eyed male fruit fly would be XwY, and the genotype of the heterozygous red-eyed female fruit fly would be XRXw. The expected ratio of genotypes in the offspring would be 1:1 for XRY (red-eyed males) and XRXw (red-eyed females).
How has the fruit fly impacted the native Florida ecosystem it has invaded?
The Mexican Fruit Fly attaches itself to fruit such as grapefruit, and deposits its eggs, destroying the fruit for consumption. They are long living and produce enormous numbers of offspring. Infestations are not controlled easily.
