The method is simple; allow the flies to do the reproduction thing, then we knock them out by inserting a small pipe-cleaner with ‘Fly-Nap’ on it into their habitat. Once the flies stopped moving, we opened their tube, poured them out, and meticulously counted them under a dissection microscope. We also observed their sex and sex-related traits and recorded them. Once we had used them for our evil purposes, we disposed of them accordingly by pouring the pathetic flies into a jar of alcohol. Our flies had varied a lot, but we may have been able to determine dominate and recessive genes for each. We counted our flies twice, and came up with a total of 160. For our results to be precise, we had to allow for P-1 mutations. We did a fly count about twice a week for two weeks.

Out F-1 phenotypes and genotypes were non-typical. The phenotypes were yellow/tan body-white eyes, and yellow/tan body-red eyes.

Tan Body/ Red Eyes/ Vestigial Wings: 2

The dominate body color trait is definitely yellowish brown/tan. There is no question about this assumption. The dominant trair for eye color is red. This is odd because in one observed situation, white eyes out numbered red eyes by a large margin [this is most likely due to human error]. The remaining traits are recessive. These traits are white body and white eyes. We had small instances of vestigial wings, they tend to be recessive.
