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.

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.

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.
