Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The inflow of sodium (Na+) ions in the plasma membrane through the membrane channel regulates the depolarization of nervous and muscular systems and their function. It is the main cation present in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and associated with regulation of blood plasma osmolarity. Increased concentration of sodium raises the osmolarity of the blood. Also, it determines the level and distribution of total body water among several fluid compartments. Gradients of Na+ ions across the cell generate potential energy that helps to transport other solutes. Also, it regulates body heat and pH of the ECF.

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:
