1. Research on the Folsom Fruit Fly, D. folsomus, identified the pigment that is responsible for the black color in its body. Based on chemical analysis of the pigment, researchers hypothesized that three enzymes were involved in synthesizing the pigment from a colorless precursor compound. Furthermore, 3 genes were found to affect body color, and one dominant allele of each (pt, o and a) is required for the black phenotype. In mating experiments with mutant flies, the following recessive alleles (and their respective phenotypes) were also identified: p (pp confers a pink body phenotype) 0 (0o confers an orange body phenotype) a (aa confers an albino body phenotype) c) Design a genetic experiment (involving crosses) to test which genes are epistatic to which. d) Present the data you would expect from the experiment in 1c if your proposed pathway is the correct pathway (BE COMPLETE AND DETAILED!)

Based on chemical analysis of the pigment, researchers hypothesized that three enzymes were involved in synthesizing the pigment from a colorless precursor compound.
