Spontaneous mutation for a quantitative trait in Drosophila melanogaster. II. Distribution of mutant effects on the trait and fitness.

Genetical research - 1 Apr 1993

López M A, López-Fanjul C

Abstract excerpt

Starting from a completely homozygous population of Drosophila melanogaster, lines have been derived and subjected to 47 generations of divergent selection for abdominal bristle number (20 lines selected in each direction) or to 60-67 generations of inbreeding (100 B lines maintained by a single...
