Wings that a slightly smaller and shrunken and makes the flies less likely to use them for flight even though that they still have the capability to fly unlike vestigial wings. Dumpy is deemed more a behavioral trait then a physical disability towards flight.

Why are dumpy wings recessive or dominant trait?

Dumpy wings in fruit flies are a recessive trait. This means that an individual must inherit two copies of the dumpy wing allele (one from each parent) in order to exhibit the dumpy wing phenotype. Dominant traits, on the other hand, only require one copy of the allele to be expressed. In the case of dumpy wings, the presence of the wild-type allele (normal wings) masks the expression of the dumpy wing allele, making it recessive.


What is the dependent variable in fruit flies?

it has wings


Is apterous wings dominant in fruit flies?

No. The apterious gene is recessive.


Why do fruit flies have white eyes?

they dont well actually some fruit flies do. it depends on if they are a mutant type of fruit fly or not. there are also flies that have messed up wings, these types of flies are called vestigial. there are also fruit flies that don't even have eyes. all of these types of fruit flies are mutants and are used for testing.


In fruit flies straight wings are dominant and curly wings are recessive. What will the generations look like?

If we cross a homozygous dominant fruit fly with straight wings (WW) and a homozygous recessive fruit fly with curly wings (ww), all offspring in the first generation (F1) will be heterozygous (Ww) and exhibit straight wings. If we then cross two F1 flies (Ww x Ww), the second generation (F2) will show a phenotypic ratio of 3 straight-winged flies to 1 curly-winged fly, resulting in about 75% straight wings and 25% curly wings.

Is apterous wings sex-linked in fruit flies?

Yes, apterous wings in fruit flies are sex-linked, meaning the gene responsible for this trait is located on the sex chromosome (X or Y). In this case, apterous wings are usually associated with the X chromosome, making it more common in males (XY) than in females (XX) due to hemizygosity.


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?


In fruit flies straight wings (S) are dominant over curled wings. A homozygous fruit fly is crossed with a heterozygous fruit fly. A Punnett square predicts what percentage of the offspring will be he?

In this cross, all offspring will have straight wings since the homozygous fly can only pass on the dominant allele for straight wings (SS) while the heterozygous fly can pass on either straight (S) or curled wings (s). Therefore, all offspring will inherit one straight wing allele, resulting in them having straight wings.


What should fruit flies should i cross to get mutant fruit flies other than the white-eyed?

You can cross fruit flies with different mutations, such as curly wings or ebony body color, to produce various mutant combinations. By crossing flies with different mutations, you can generate new mutant combinations and study their effects on traits and behaviors.


Do fruit flies become big flies?

No, they stay fruit flies.


How do fruit flies infest fruit?

Fruit flies infest fruit by actually burrowing into the fruit, and laying their eggs inside of it. So when they hatch, the fruit flies then devour their environment
