Journal of Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

  1. 1.

    Cardinal inDrosophila subobscura, now called vermilion, is homologous with vermilion inD. melanogaster.

  2. 2.

    Scarlet and cherry implants are autonomous in wild-type hosts and are not homologous with cinnabar.

  3. 3.

    Poppy implants are autonomous in wild-type hosts, but poppy maroon implants are pinker in wild-type hosts. Poppy may behave like bright inD. melanogaster.

  4. 4.

    Wild type is autonomous in maroon. Maroon is therefore not homologous with claret.
