Exercise 61

What crosses would you make to determine if the pink allele is an X-linked gene What crosses would you make to determine if the pink allele is an allele of the same X-linked gene that has white and eosin alleles Note: The eosin allele is discussed in Figure 4.19.FIGURE 4.19 A gene interaction between the cream allele and eosin allele in fruit flies.
