The effects of spontaneous mutation on quantitative traits. II. Dominance of mutations with effects on life-history traits.

Genetical research - 1 Aug 1997

Houle D, Hughes K A, Assimacopoulos S, Charlesworth B

Abstract excerpt

We studied the dominance of the effects of chromosomes carrying unselected mutations on five life-history traits in Drosophila melanogaster. Mutations were accumulated on the second chromosome for 44 generations in the absence of natural selection. Traits studied were female fecundity early and late in adult life, male mating ability, and male and female longevity. Homozygous effects were estimated for 50 mutant...
