Quantitative genetics of ovariole number in Drosophila melanogaster. II. Mutational variation and genotype-environment interaction.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1998

Wayne M L, Mackay T F

Abstract excerpt

The rare alleles model of mutation-selection balance (MSB) hypothesis for the maintenance of genetic variation was evaluated for two quantitative traits, ovariole number and body size. Mutational variances (VM) for these traits, estimated from mutation accumulation lines, were 4.75 and 1.97 x 10(-4) times the environmental variance (VE), respectively. The mutation accumulation lines were studied in three...
