. Sex-linked inheritance in Drosophila. Heredity; Drosophila. Fig. a.—a, rudimentary wing; b, the wild fly for comparison. The rudimentary males are perfectly fertile, but the rudimentary females rarely produce any offspring at all, and then only a very few. The reason for this is that most of the germ-cells cease their develop- ment in the early growth stage of the eggs (Morgan, 1915a). MINIATURE. (Plate II, figures 7 and 8.) The recessive sex-Hnked mutant miniature wings appeared in August 1910 (Morgan, 1911* and 1912a). The viability of miniature is fair, and this stock has been used in Hnk
