The Genetics of Drosophila Eye Color—
Inquiry Lab Kit for AP® Biology
By: Kathy Van Hoeck, York High School, Elmhurst, IL
In this kit, students determine which pigments are present or missing in the wild-type and mutant
Drosophila by separating and identifying the pigments with paper chromatography chromatograms.
Includes detailed teacher notes and reproducible student handouts.
Complete for 8 student groups. Wild-type, white-eyed, sepia-eyed and scarlet-eyed fruit flies are
required; brown-eyed mutant flies an optional extension. Please order Drosophila 2–3 weeks before
use because mature adults are required.

Corn, Segregating Ears
These are single full-size ears of corn from plants specially bred to demonstrate
Mendelian probability ratios and fundamentals of heredity. Kernels are numerous
enough to give results close to theoretical ratios, yet students will learn that those
ratios are predictive and numerical variations are natural.
Catalog No. Description Price/Each
AB1443 3 Purple: 1 White. Monohybrid. F2 ear resulting from a parental
cross between a homozygous dominant (purple) plant and a
homozygous recessive (white) plant.
$13.65
AB1444 1 Purple: 1 White. Monohybrid. Product of a test cross between an
F1 hybrid and the homozygous recessive (white) parent.
13.65
AB1445 9 Purple Dent: 3 White Dent: 3 Purple Sweet: 1 White Sweet
Dihybrid. To demonstrate the assortment of two independent
characteristics. F2 generation resulting from a parental cross
between a plant homozygous dominant for both alleles and a
plant homozygous recessive for both alleles.
13.60
AB1446
1 Purple Dent: 1 White Dent: 1 Purple Sweet: 1 White Sweet Dihybrid.
To demonstrate the assortment of two independent characteristics.
Product of a test cross between an F1 hybrid—heterozygous for
both alleles—and the homozygous recessive (white, sweet) parent.

Corn, Segregating Seeds
These are viable seeds for germination. Seedlings developing from these seeds
will demonstrate the phenotypic ratios described. Color characteristics are often
indistinct initially and may require a few days to develop fully. Seeds are packaged
in envelopes of 100 and germination rate should exceed 90 percent.
Catalog No. Description Price/Each
AB1447 3 Normal Green: 1 Albino. Monohybrid. F2 seeds resulting
from a parental cross between a homozygous dominant (green)
plant and a homozygous recessive (albino) plant.
$14.85
AB1448 1 Normal Tall: 1 Dwarf. Monohybrid. Seeds resulting from a test
cross between an F1 hybrid and a homozygous recessive (dwarf)
parent (P1).
13.80
AB1450 9 Tall Green: 3 Tall Albino: 3 Dwarf Green: 1 Dwarf Albino.
Dihybrid. To demonstrate the assortment of two independent
characteristics. F2 seeds resulting from a parental cross between a
plant homozygous for both dominant genes and one homozygous
for both recessive genes.
