Dame\tantWa is a suppressor of abnormal body color phenotype of t5
Dame\tantWa is a suppressor of adult cuticle phenotype of t5
Pigmentation is rescued in D. melanogaster t5 flies if they are carrying either Dnov\tantWa or Dame\tantWa, with flies carrying the Dame\tantWa allele having darker pigmentation than those carrying the Dnov\tantWa allele.
D. novamexicana flies carrying Dame\tantWa are visibly darker than D. novamexicana flies carrying Dnov\tantWa.
