Abstract
A mutant designated white-eye (w) is described from a colony of A. cooki. White-eye is sex-linked and recessive and the crossover value within the sex locus is 7.18 .+-. 1.38%. The gene w has full penetrance and expression at all stages of the life-cycle, but in the adults the eyes darken with age to a yellowish color.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
