The body colour of alb mutants is white and that of cr mutants creamy yellow. Thus, the red pigment in epidermal cells of the mutant individuals is inhibited. Standard genetic analyses showed that both these mutations are inherited as autosomal recessives and exhibit complete penetrance and uniform expression in both sexes. The fertility of the alb and cr homozygous females and fertilization success of the alb and cr homozygous males were substantially lower than those of wild-type bugs.
