RCF units are therefore dimensionless (denoting multiples of g) and revolutions per
minute are usually abbreviated as r.p.m.

An inversion moves a wild-type allele (red eyes) at the white locus in Drosophila to a chromosomal region that contains highly condensed, the wild-type allele is not expressed in some cells, resulting in an eye consisting of red and white spots.
