Persistence of a mutant gene in Drosophila populations of different genetic backgrounds.
HE existence of polymorphisms in many populations is a well established fact, but the ways in which they get started are not understood. This study was undertaken to throw some light on the subject by observations on a mutant which, while presumably not polymorphic in the population wherein it arose, nevertheless tended to persist in laboratory cultures. The mutant gene was studied in a variety...
متن کاملFrequency Distribution of Lethal Chromosomes in Small Populations of DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER.
TUDYING the frequencies and allelic rates of lethal chromosomes in natural populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura, DOBZHANSKY and WRIGHT ( 1941 ) and WRIGHT, DOBZHANSKY and HOVANITZ (1942) showed that the frequency of lethals is much less than would be expected of completely recessive lethals under random mating and this lower frequency is due to either partial inbreeding within populations or...
متن کاملA high-frequency null mutant of an odorant-binding protein gene, Obp57e, in Drosophila melanogaster.
We have found a null mutant of an odorant-binding protein, Obp57e, in Drosophila melanogaster. This frameshift mutation, which is a 10-bp deletion in the coding region, is at a high frequency in the Kyoto population and is also present in Taiwan and Africa. We have sequenced a 1.5-kb region including the tandemly duplicated gene, Obp57d, from 16 inbred lines sampled in Kyoto, Japan. The analyse...
متن کاملDrosophila (gamma)Tub37C gene mutant phenotypes
The centrosome is the major microtubule organising center (MTOC) in most animal cells. Centrosomes organise microtubules by initiating their assembly and anchoring them at their minus ends, thus facilitating microtubule growth at the rapidly growing plus ends. Because of its central role in many essential aspects of cell physiology, both in interphase and during cell division, an intense resear...
متن کاملEsterase gene frequency differences and linkage equilibrium in Drosophila virilis populations from different ecological habitats.
In order to study the gene frequency and linkage equilibrium in natural populations, about 5740 chromosomes of Drosophila virilis flies from eight natural populations were analyzed by the null strain method for two linked esterase loci. The frequencies of these esterase genes appear to depend on habitat characteristics rather than on geographical distribution. The populations kept a high degree...
