Abstract excerpt
The history of the Drosophila melanogaster alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) Fast/Slow polymorphism was studied by recording molecular variation and inversion polymorphism in 233 chromosomes from European and African populations. Silent molecular variation in the Slow allele was very different between standard chromosomes and chromosomes bearing the In(2L)t inversion. Within populations, inverted Slow haplotypes were...
