Spontaneous mutation for a quantitative trait in Drosophila melanogaster. I. Response to artificial selection.

Genetical research - 1 Apr 1993

López M A, López-Fanjul C

Abstract excerpt

Divergent selection for abdominal bristle number was carried out for 47 generations, starting from a completely homozygous population of Drosophila melanogaster. All lines were selected with the same proportion (20%) but at two different numbers of selected parents of each sex (5 or 25). A significant response to selection was obtained in 25 lines (out of 40). In most cases, it could be wholly attributed to a...
