FLIES AND THEIR COLORS (LaKesha, Sharhea, Shanika)

We decided to observe the effect in eye color in the fly lab. We were a little lost at first because we concentrating more on a dihybrid cross before a monohybrid cross. We finally settled on the eye color with the wild type body. We found that most eye colors were recessive and the wild type was dominant. We observed brown, sepia and purple, which turned out to be recessive. The only color that was totally different was the white eye color. They were sex linked and recessive. When the females had white eye color and the male was a wild type, they created females as wild type and males that had white eyes. When we switched and had males with white eyes and females with wild, the offsprings were all wild type.
