Abstract excerpt
When two different isogenic lines of a diploid species (or two different species) are crossed, the resulting F1 individuals should be heterozygous at all the loci fixed for different alleles in the two strains (in the limit, at all the loci of the genome). If one of these loci is then held heterozygous for several generations of repeated backcrossing to the same strain, the average length of intact chromosome...
