Question
The eyes of fruit flies look red because they contain molecules called pigments, which color the eyes red. Cells in the eyes of fruit flies have parts that make these pigments from other molecules. Time elapsed 00 34 04 HR MIN SEC The molecules that will become pigments are brought inside these cell parts by a protein called a transporter. This transporter protein is encoded by the w gene. Challenge Stage 2 of 2 Get 6 correct in a row a white fly eye (left) and a red fly eye Scientists in a lab found a fruit fly that had white eyes. This fly had a mutation in its w gene. Compared to the w gene without a mutation, the mutated w gene encoded a form of the transporter protein with a different structure. This different form of the transporter protein could not bring molecules into the parts of the fly's eye cells where pigments are made. So, the fly's eyes had no pigments. Fill in the blanks. the transporter protein the w gene a fruit fly trait The mutation in affected the structure and function of in a way that affected
