The genetics of white-eye, a sex-linked mutant of Aedes (Stegomyia) cooki Belkin.
Abstract
A mutant designated white-eye (w) is described from a colony of Aedes cooki. White-eye is sex-linked and recessive and the crossover value with the sex locus is 7.18 +/- 1.38%. The gene w has full penetrance and expressivity at all stages of the life-cycle, but in the adults the eyes darken with age to a yellowish colour
