Question
In fruit flies the vestigial gene is pleiotropic.
- True
- False
Hint:
True
The correct answer is 'True'.
Along with regulating wing development, the vestigial gene is also pleiotropic. Indirectly, the gene alters the number of egg strings in a fly’s ovaries, alters the position of bristles on a fly’s scutellum, and decreases the length of a fly’s life.
