The wing type is controlled by an autosomal or non-sex-linked gene. The wild type (normal wing) trait is dominant, and the vestigial wing is recessive. But if you look at their eye color; red (wild type) versus white (mutant), that would be an example of a sex-linked trait.Niotulove Â· 8 years ago. Thumbs up.hose having no dominant (V) gene would have vestigial wings and would have a vv genotype. Flies with vestigial wings have nothing more than vestiges or degenerated elements of wings and are unable to fly. However, they can still jump and run quite well.
Now compare them with the other fruit flies here. Short-Winged Flies Notice the shortened wings of these flies. Flies with vestigial wings cannot fly: they have a defect in their vestigial gene, on the second chromosome. These flies have a recessive mutation.Of the pair of vestigial genes carried by each fly (one from each parent), both have to be altered to produce the abnormal wing shape.ow compare them with the other fruit flies here.
