In D. virilise, the mutations dusky body (dy), cut wings (ct) and white eyes (w) are all recessive alleles located on at different places on the x chromosome. Females heterozygous for all three mutations were crossed to dy ct w males, and the following phenotypes were obtained
Class Phenotype Number
1 Wild type 18
2 Dusky 153
3 cut 6
4 White 76
5 cut, white 150
6 dusky,cut 72
7 dusky,cut,white 22
8 dusky,white 3
