title: Omnibus: a comprehensive Drosophila experiment for the genetics teaching laboratory.
abstract: A comprehensive laboratory exercise for the beginning genetics student is presented. The student is given "unknown" Drosophila stocks that carry assorted genetic markers and chromosomal rearrangements. These are crossed inter se in order to illustrate all of the basic genetic phenomena. During the exercise the student learns to proceed from data to conclusion, not vice versa.
