Producing test fly populations
(A) Genetic crossing and phenotypic selection to isolate BicC transheterozygote mutants. The Punnett square depicts the progeny genotypes and viability from crossing maternal Df(2L)RA5/CyO (ΔBicC, deletion, curly wings) and either one of paternal lines BicCYC33/CyO and BicCIIF34/CyO (BicC ∗, hypomorphs, curly wings). The BicC progeny from this cross (ΔBicC/BicC∗) is straight winged.
(B) Continuous culturing to yield OreR flies or stable mutants.
