Abstract excerpt
The mutation no action potential (nap) induces arrhythmia in the heartbeat of Drosophila melanogaster larvae at temperatures above 20 degrees C; heartbeat becomes normally rhythmic again after a shift back to 20 degrees C. For this phenotype, napa is almost completely recessive to the wild type, napa also reduces the temperature-sensitivity of heart rate over a wide range of temperature, for this phenotype, napa...
