Abstract excerpt
The mo (hereditary mosaic) mutation is one of the most famous and interesting mutations of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Females homozygous for mo generate mosaic and gynandromorphic offspring due to non-elimination of polar bodies and subsequent double fertilization events, irrespective of the genotype of the mated males. Although mo was first reported in 1927, the locus has not been mapped to linkage groups, as...
