[Genetics of unstable alleles of X-chromosome genes isolated during the outburst of the yellow mutation in 1982-1991 in the natural population of Drosophila melanogaster in Umani].

Abstract excerpt

In 1982, a local increase of frequency of mutation yellow-2, which lasted for a decade, occurred in a population of Drosophila melanogaster from Uman' (Ukraine). Genetic properties (phenotypic difference, mutability, and peculiarities of complementation) of alleles yellow-2, isolated from the population during the mutation outburst, and of their revertants, were studied. Allelic diversity, which reflected...
