We are working with Drosophila melanogaster in the laboratory section of the course. I have seen that the mutations that we are working with are not on the Drosophila melanogaster page. Students will work in pairs to add a description of a common mutation found in classical Drosphila genetics. White eyes exist as a page by itself but that appears to be it, it seems that the Drosophila melanogaster page could incorporate the mutations or the students could add the mutations to new pages.
