Sterility of male and female hybrids of Drosophila virilis and Drosophila lummei.

Heredity - 1 Aug 1991

Heikkinen E, Lumme J

Abstract excerpt

The sterility of interspecific hybrids between the sibling species Drosophila virilis and D. lummei was tested in reciprocal F1s and different second generation combinations of cytoplasm, sex chromosomes and autosomes. Males with motile sperm and females with at least one mature egg were scored as fertile. When D. virilis was the mother, about 5 per cent of the F1 male progeny was sterile, the reason being that...
