Fruit flies (Drosophila) offer a wealth of hands-on options for teaching genetics. Students can easily study the sex-linked, recessive, and dominant mutations. This vial contains white-apricot (wa) chromosome 1 mutant Drosophila, which demonstrate a recessive sex-linked mutation that causes yellow/orange eyes and shares an allele with the white eyes gene.
Product Details
The white-apricot (wa) chromosome 1 mutant Drosophila (fruit flies) demonstrate a recessive sex-linked mutation that causes yellow/orange eyes and shares an allele with the white eyes gene.
These flies are recommended for investigating sex-linked inheritance and are excellent for beginning Drosophila studies because of how easy they are to score. For a complete guide on maintaining and studying Drosophila, including how to culture, anesthetize, and score them, and the genetic notations, consider our Carolina® Drosophila Manual (item #452620).
Note: It takes up to 2 weeks from the date of the vial for adults to develop. When culture arrives, remove cap but leave plug in place. Keep culture out of sunlight and maintain at 6877° F (2025° C).
