Abstract excerpt
In experiments on introduction of mutation l(2)M167(DTS) in Drosophila melanogaster populations, larval and pupal viability and developmental rate are limiting factors determining the intensity of selection on the l(2)M167(DTS) mutation. Notwithstanding the rapid elimination of the mutation from the population, positive selection for viability was shown, which increased fitness of the mutation carriers in...
