Hexokinase isozyme variability in Drosophila robusta

Hexokinase isozyme distribution in human skeletal muscle.

Two isoforms of hexokinase (type I and type II) are expressed in skeletal muscle; however, the intracellular distribution of these hexokinase isoforms in human skeletal muscle is unclear. The current study was undertaken to assess this issue because binding of hexokinase to subcellular structures is considered to be an important mechanism in the regulation of glucose phosphorylation. Vastus lat...

Chromosome interactions in Drosophila robusta.

M O S T of the population genetics work on Drosophila species has been done with polymorphism at a single gene locus or different gene arrangements in one chromosome which behave in inheritance as single genetic units. However, little attention has been given to the problem of interactions between unlinked polymorphic loci. Consider two unlinked autosomal loci A and B and their variant alleles ...

Food preference in Drosophila robusta and Drosophila tripunctata following desiccation

Sexual Selection Operating in a Wild Population of Drosophila Robusta.

Almost 60 years have elapsed since the discovery of variation in the polytene chromosomes of Drosophila (Sturtevant and Dobzhansky 1936). Inversion polymorphism studies have revealed some of the intricacies of evolutionary change, but even now, when interest in them has waned, there is little understanding of the particular alleles contained within them that alone or in relation to other genes ...
