Abstract excerpt
Two isofemale lines (P1 and P2) from a wild-type population of Drosophila melanogaster were selected for an invariant phenotype, two symmetrical and anterior scutellar extra bristles. Both P1 and P2 lines responded quickly to direct selection for two extra bristles, but although this phenotype was canalized in the P2 line, it was not in the P1 line. This lack of canalization at two extra bristles, measured by...
