Studies of the species barrier between Drosophila madeirensis and Drosophila subobscura. II. Genetic analysis of developmental incompatibilities in hybrids

The genetic analysis of two abnormal Characters, extra sex combs and abnormal head shape in hybrids between Drosophila madeirensis and Drosophila subobscura, revealed a major effect of the X chromosome in both cases. Autosomes also play a role in determining these abnormalities, the E chromosome in...

Descrição
Resumo:The genetic analysis of two abnormal Characters, extra sex combs and abnormal head shape in hybrids between Drosophila madeirensis and Drosophila subobscura, revealed a major effect of the X chromosome in both cases. Autosomes also play a role in determining these abnormalities, the E chromosome in case of extra sex combs, the E and 0 chromosomes in case of abnormal head shape. Autosomes do not cause the two abnormal characters, without interacting with the X chromosome.
