These F_1 flies should all be heterozygous for "pink." A pair of wild-type
flies which were mated gave a 3 : 1 ratio--wild type 51 to "pink" 18. From
the "pinks" which appeared in this cross a stock was made which was lost
through sterility. Females tested to males of true pink were also sterile,
so that no solution can be given of the case.
[6] Purple is an eye-color whose gen is in the second chromosome.
[7] The curve published by Miss Stark included by mistake 6 cultures from
the succeeding generations, and these coming from only one of the lethals
(lethal _sb_) increase its mode so that the mode of the other lethal
(lethal _sa_) becomes submerged. If these cultures are taken out the curve
shows two modes more clearly.
[8] The figures to the left in each double column correspond to the symbols
above the heavy line, as, in the first example 6,219 white miniature. The
similar figure to the right corresponds to the symbol below the heavy line.
If no symbols are present below, as in the first example, the column to the
right should be read wild-type.
