Abstract excerpt
We studied the timing of mitotic loss of maternally and paternally derived chromosomes among the progeny of Drosophila melanogaster females homozygous for an amorphic mutation in ncd, a gene encoding a kinesin-like protein. In order to determine the division at which chromosome loss occurs, we estimated the fraction of XO nuclei resulting from X chromosome loss by scoring the phenotype of 47 adult cuticular...
