6. In Drosophila melanog aster , these recessive genes for eye color 

 are found : car = carnation ; bw - brown eye ; pr - purple ; w = white ; 

 p = pink. The dominant alleles of these genes interact to produce a 

 wild-type (red) eye. Write the complete formula (as far as these pairs 

 of alleles are concerned) for flies with these eye colors: pink, carnation, 

 red, purple, white, brown.
