Genetics of factors affecting the life history of Drosophila melanogaster. IV. Cytoplasmic/maternal factors affect egg insertion behavior.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of insertion behavior of laboratory strains of Drosophila melanogaster was examined. Reciprocal crosses among five strains revealed a significant effect of interaction between cytoplasmic/maternal factors and the chromosomal genotype in determining the insertion tendency, thus complicating the characterization of the dominant/recessive nature of the insertion genes. The majority of heterozygous...
