Lack of response to selection for directional asymmetry in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Thirty generations of selection for directional asymmetry of eye size was practiced on a stock of D. melanogaster homozygous for the mutant eyeless-recessive. There was no obvious response, supporting previous findings that it is difficult to select for right- and left-handed expression of traits in Drosophila.
