Abstract excerpt
Optic morphology (Om) mutations in Drosophila ananassae map to at least 22 loci scattered throughout the genome. They are semidominant, neomorphic, nonpleiotropic, and are associated with the insertion of a retrotransposon, tom. The Om(1A) gene, which is cytogenetically linked to the cut locus, w...
