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.

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.


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.


In 1910 Thomas Morgan discovered a certain pattern of inheritance in fruit flies known as sex linkage.?

whether or not the fly had different wings or different eye color


Would an extra pair of wings on a fruit fly help or hinder it?

It's a rather small genetical mutation to add an extra pair of wings to a fruit fly. When done in a lab, the fruit flies with extra wings couldn't fly at all. Also, according to the theory of evolutionary theory, if this extra winged fly would have better chances of surviving it would compete with the one-winged until they completely took over (which obviously hasn't happned). So in short: it would hinder it.


Are flies wings transparent?

Yes, flies typically have transparent wings. The transparency allows light to pass through the wings, aiding in flight.

Is apterous wings dominant in fruit flies?

No. The apterious gene is recessive.


Are apterous wings dominant or recessive?

Apterous wings are typically a recessive trait in insects. This means that an individual must inherit two copies of the apterous allele to exhibit the wingless (apterous) phenotype. If an individual has one copy of the apterous allele and one copy of the dominant allele for normal wings, they will have normal wings.

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.

What are dumpy wings in fruit flies?

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.


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.
