| What are the 5 factors that distinguishes the males from the females? | 1-Size 2-Body Color 3-Shape 4-Sex organs 5-Sex combs |
| Difference in size? | Male smaller than females |

| Identify the parts the a male drosophila forlimb | 5 parts (femur, tibia, claw, sex combs, Tarsi 1 to 5) |
| Steps to figure out what the parents were | You know the children (find probability for each genre 50% white, 25 red male 25 white female) and from there you can guess whether the parents are heterozygote/homozygote and do the punnett table. |
