Abstract excerpt
Genetic analyses involving chromosomes from seven inbred lines derived from a single M' strain were used to study the quantitative relationships between the incidence and severity of P-M hybrid dysgenesis and the number of genomic P elements. In four separate analyses, the mutability of snw, a P element-insertion mutation of the X-linked singed locus, was found to be inversely related to the number of autosomal P...
