Abstract excerpt
The genetic analysis of two new mutants, brown and abnormal eye, is presented. The data indicate that both mutants are recessive and under the control of loci in linkage group III. The gene sequence for linkage group III is cl-Adh-s-bw-ae. The total length of linkage group III is now approximately 48 map units. Mosquitoes homozygous for both brown and rose, another eye-color mutant in linkage group I, exhibit a...
