Document Summary
An investigation of curly wings and eyeless mutations of. The purpose of the experiment was to determine the genotype and conditions associated with the eyeless and curly wings mutation in the drosophila melanogaster. The experiment was conducted using the simulation software flylab. Multiple crosses were conducted in order to compare the obtained ratios to predicted ratios using chi-squared analysis. Among the significant results were the modified ratios of 2curly:1wild in the offspring of first generation curly wing flies cross and 3eyeless:1wild in the f2 of eyeless flies generation cross of eyeless flies. These results lead to conclusions about curly wing condition being lethal and the autosomal recessive state of eyeless mutation. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the nature of 2 mutations in drosophila m. fruit fly by simulation of parental and first generation crosses with flylab. Flylab automatically assigns the correct genotype to the mutated flies and takes into account any special conditions.
