Abstract excerpt
The genetic analysis of two abnormal characters, extra sex combs and abnormal head shape in hybrids between Drosophila madeirensis and Drosophila subobscura, revealed a major effect of the X chromosome in both cases. Autosomes also play a role in determining these abnormalities, the E chromosome in case of extra sex combs, the E and O chromosomes in case of abnormal head shape. Autosomes do not cause the two...
