Fruit Flies and Genetics Research

  Imagine you are working in a genetics lab with the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, a model organism for genetics research. You want to determine whether a trait you have discovered in fruit flies is dominant or recessive. • Explain how you would design an experiment to answer this question. • Predict what types of outcomes are possible. Which would indicate that the trait is dominant? Which would indicate that it is recessive?
