1. Considering the nomenclature conventions used for fruit fly genetics, how are mutant and wild type alleles of genes distinguished when writing out a cross? How are dominant mutant alleles designated?
Demonstrate your understanding by writing out the genotypes for the following crosses:
a. wild type X stubble bristle flies (stubble is dominant over wild type long bristles)
b. wild type x yellow body flies (yellow is recessive to wild type gray body color)
