Effects of the parents' age on the level of polymorphism at the Adh locus in Drosophila melanogaster: I. Effects on the genic and genotypic segregation of the offspring.

Abstract excerpt

Several parameters (genetic and nongenetic) are involved in allele frequency changes and in the maintenance of the level of polymorphism at the Adh locus in Drosophila melanogaster. In this article, we have investigated the effect that parental age has on the genetic and genotypic segregation of the offspring. Comparing the offspring from crosses between heterozygous individuals of different ages (young x young,...
