    Yes it it.

    Explanation:

    Flies with vestigial wings cannot fly: they have a defect in their "vestigial gene," on the second chromosome. These flies have a recessive mutation. Of the pair of vestigial genes carried by each fly (one from each parent), both have to be altered to produce the abnormal wing shape.
