I took the culture outside to see them better, and heres what happened. About half of the flies just flew away. But about 25% couldnt fly at all, and 25% could fly a few inches. I found this odd. It would seem a flying fly got in there and interbred. Based on the simple theorys of Mendel, it seems the flyin gene is the dominant one huh? Again, Im almost positive no other flies got it there, it doesnt seem possible the way I did it. So, I am still confused though Anyone else ever experience this?
