The response to artificial selection from new mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 May 1991

Caballero A, Toro M A, López-Fanjul C

Abstract excerpt

Twenty generations of divergent selection for abdominal bristle number were carried out starting from a completely homozygous population of Drosophila melanogaster. All lines were selected with the same proportion (20%) but at two different numbers of selected parents of each sex (5 or 25). A significant response to selection was detected in eight lines (out of 40) and, in most cases, it could be wholly...
