Lack of response to family selection for directional asymmetry in Drosophila melanogaster: left and right are not distinguished in development.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Aug 1990

Tuinstra E J, De Jong G, Scharloo W

Abstract excerpt

Family selection for directional asymmetry in the expression of the Drosophila melanogaster mutant scute had no result. Fluctuating asymmetry did not show a selection differential correlated with directional asymmetry. The unfolding of bilateral symmetry in embryogenesis can be used to explain the lack of genetic variation for directional asymmetry. Directional asymmetry provides a well-understood example of a...
