52. Using Drosophila Notes The steps involved in setting up a cross to study the colour of the abdomen in Drosophila flies Parents must be true breeding to ensure dominant alleles are not hiding recessive alleles. 1. Parents are chosen, one with a grey body and the other with an ebony body. Notes Steps
53. Using Drosophila Notes This produces the F 1 generation. 2. Breed the parents. Notes Steps
54. Using Drosophila Notes This identifies the dominant allele. 3. The F 1 phenotype is observed. Notes Steps
55. Using Drosophila Notes This produces the F 2 generation. 4. The F 1 generation is self-crossed. Notes Steps
56. Using Drosophila Notes This allows the phenotype ratio to be calculated. 5. The F 2 generation is examined and the number of each phenotype counted. Notes Steps
57. Using Drosophila Notes This improves the reliability of the results. 6. The experiment is repeated. Notes Steps
