In the Fruitfly Drosophila Melanogaster,red and Yellow Eye Pigments Are

Question 9

Multiple Choice

In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster,red and yellow eye pigments are synthesized through the pterin pathway.These,plus the brown pigment synthesized through the ommochrome pathway,produce the dark red Drosophila eye color.A part of the pterin pathway (simplified) is shown below.
