Help: THE FLY. - (Sep/28/2005 )
1)What are three different physical characteristics that may be used to differentiate a male from a female wild type fly?
2)One of the characteristics of the multiple mutant is that the surfaces of the wings appear to be darker than those of the wild type. What is the reason for the darkened appearance of the wings?

depends on the fly
is it Drosophila? Diptera, etc there are many many genera of flies.

I'm not sure if this is true with all species, but the tail of the male is twisted a bit, like a scorpion.

for the fist question ,if im not make a mistake...differences between male and female drosophila is...the male is smaller than female...and i,m not sure wether female or male have stripes at bottom of their body...if u want know more about this..i think u better check in the genetic principal book...i think u can find the answer...i hope this can help u...

hi,
try flymove if you should still need some information.
(goto 'genetics' - 'female vs. male')
