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.
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.
Sycamore has wings which helps them to disperse easily.
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.
Yes, flies typically have transparent wings. The transparency allows light to pass through the wings, aiding in flight.
whether or not the fly had different wings or different eye color
no it would be harder then what it is now :) JWt
If one fruit fly is heterozygous for long wings and the other is homozygous for short wings, the expected percentage of their offspring having long wings would be 50%. This is because when the long-winged parent passes on the dominant long-wing allele and the short-winged parent passes on the recessive short-wing allele, the offspring would have one of each allele, resulting in the offspring having long wings.
it has wings
Two wings would present some stability problems. Four wings would probably give you the most flight control but the extra wing will cause some excess drag that will use fuel more quickly. So...I would probably go with three for maximum control and fuel savings.
awesome with wings
I belive it is a bat with 6 extra legs and 4 wings. I would classify it into Mythology.
Legs=so they can jump Wings=So they can extra jump higher from predators.
thick sturdy wings would be too heavy to fly with and certainly too heavy to flap. And they would require extra food to produce.
Sage will give you wings after you free his friend, Yeti, and give Yeti a Moon Fruit.
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.
No. The apterious gene is recessive.
it's pretty obvious, but wings
