So, the findings of the currently discussed experiment are rather interesting, especially from the viewpoint that they fully conform to the previous research views discussed above. Thus considering F1 flies, one cannot but mention the poor variety of their traits. In the results of the male 4-trait & female wild-type cross, there are only one eye color variety, two body color types, and all the flies are uniform in their wing sizes, bristle traits, and normal cross veins. The female 4-trait & male wild type cross adds only one eye color to the variety, while the rest of the results conform to the ideas by Peters (2010), Ernst (2000, p. 189), Greenspan (2004, p. 219), and Ladiges et al. (2009, pp. 129 – 130 ), who argue that F1 is the generation that displays little mutation variety in its physical traits.
F2 flies present a wider variety of traits, and this fact also fits the above presented theoretical framework for the experiment. According to Peters (2010), Ernst (2000, p. 189), Greenspan (2004, p. 219), and Ladiges et al. (2009, pp. 129 – 130 ), F2 flies acquire more diverse traits as a result of more numerous mutations taking place at the genetics level. The results from Table 2 prove this point, as one can observe two eye colors for all F2 flies’ groups, three types of body color, and all possible variations in wing size, bristle form, and cross veins. An interesting implication of the results is that female genes tend to have more influence on flies’ sex determination, which is especially evident in crosses with the dominant female fly species and represented
