Abstract excerpt
A suite of aberrant genetic traits, including increased mutation rate, sex-limited mutation and distorted transmission ratios, was produced among progeny of genetic crosses between two strains of Drosophila mauritiana when a paternally contributed Mos excision factor is placed into a non-Mos genetic background. In the reciprocal cross, involving maternally contributed Mos and Mos associated cytoplasm, the same...
