Mutant Trait of Drosophila melanogaster
The mode of inheritance for the mutant trait giving a dark
dark body phenotype was determined using Drosophila
melanogaster. This phenotype was determined to be result
of the ebony mutant trait. An initial mating was set up
between homozygous mutant males, and homozygous normal
virgin females. The F1 generation was examined and then
allowed to self cross. Then the resulting F2 generation was
examined and the frequency of the mutant

generation which consisted of 98 flies, had 74 normal flies and 24 mutant flies. Both groups contained males and females. This yielded X2=.0136; P>.95; D.F. = 1 which supported the hypothesis of autosomal recessive inheritance.
