Need help with biology genetics?????!!!?
The gene for eye color is denoted E. There are four alleles and each is denoted by a number, so the alleles are E1 (wild-type), E2 (apricot), E3 (honey), E4 (white). If allele E1 is present, then the fly has wild-type eye color, no matter what the other allele is. If the apricot allele is present, then the fly has apricot eye color, no matter what other allele is present, unless it is the wild-type allele. If the honey allele is present, then the fly has honey eye color, unless the wt or apricot allele is present. The white eye color is only present if the fly is zygous for this allele, all other alleles are dominant over white.
