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 yellow crossveinless vermilion forked (y1cv1v1f1) chromosome 1 mutant Drosophila, which demonstrate yellow body and wing hairs, absent or greatly reduced crossveins, bright orange (vermillion) eyes, and reduced or split/bent bristles.
Product Details
The yellow crossveinless vermilion forked (y1cv1v1f1) chromosome 1 mutant Drosophila (fruit flies) demonstrate yellow body and wing hairs, absent or greatly reduced crossveins, bright orange (vermillion) eyes, and reduced or split/bent bristles.
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).
