The blue brought in as splashes by thesplashed-white might indeed be regarded as dominant overthe black of the other (black) parent, but if so, then theuniform distribution of the blue must be determined bydominance of the allelomorphic gene brought in by theblack parent. Each parent then would contribute at thesame time a dominant and a recessive effect, each theproduct of one member of the same pair of allelomorphs. There are other cases in which the hybrid is inter-mediate in color, and, in addition, its range of variationis so large that the extremes overlap one or even bothof the two parental types. For example: In the vinegarfly, Drosophila m
