The distribution of spontaneous mutations on quantitative traits and fitness in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Nov 1992

Santiago E, Albornoz J, Domínguez A, Toro M A, López-Fanjul C

Abstract excerpt

Starting from a completely homozygous population of Drosophila melanogaster, two groups of 100 inbred lines each were established and maintained for 46 generations, by a single brother-sister mating and two double first cousin matings, respectively. Sternopleural bristle number, wing length and wing width were simultaneously scored in all lines every 4-5 generations. The means of four lines in each group departed...
