Chapter 2, Problem 6Q
Some bacteria can produce a structure called an endospore, which is used as a survival structure. It is surrounded by a very tough and impervious outer layer, that keeps it protected in adverse environmental conditions. What kinds of things would you need to know about this structure if you wanted to devise a way to stain it and see it under a microscope?

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type. From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters. The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results:
