چکیده

Associations of alleles of the acid phosphatase-3 locus with the different third-chromosome inversions from different populations of D. pseudoobscura are described. We observe only the allele AP-3(1.0) in the Standard and Arrowhead inversions and the allele AP-3.98 in the Santa Cruz, Treeline, Cuernavaca and the Pikes Peak arrangements. The Chiricahua gene arrangement is polymorphic.

Evolutionary genomics of inversions in Drosophila pseudoobscura: evidence for epistasis.

Drosophila pseudoobscura harbors a rich polymorphism for paracentric inversions on the third chromosome, and the clines in the inversion frequencies across the southwestern United States indicate that strong natural selection operates on them. Isogenic inversion strains were made from isofemale lines collected from four localities, and eight molecular markers were mapped on the third chromosome...

Interchromosomal exchange of genetic information between gene arrangements on the third chromosome of Drosophila pseudoobscura.

During the last 60 years, the inversion polymorphism on the third chromosome of Drosophila pseudoobscura has become a case study of the evolution of linked blocks of genes, isolated from each other by the suppression of recombination in heterozygotes for different inversions. Due to its location within inverted regions in most gene arrangements, the amylase (Amy) gene region can be used to eluc...

Association of alleles of the malic dehydrogenase locus with a pericentric inversion in Drosophila robusta.

Associations of Malic dehydrogenase alleles with the third chromosome arrangement 3R and the pericentric arrangement 3L-R are described. Even though significant associations between alleles and inversions exist within a population, there is an overall similarity in MDH allele frequencies in different populations inspite of large differences in inversion frequencies.

Some of Drosophila Melanogaster

LL present theories of crossing over tacitly assume that events in one tetA rad (at least as far as crossing over is concerned) are independent of those occurring in the other tetrads of the cell. Yet as long ago as 1919 STURTEVANT suspected that the presence of a heterozygous inversion in one chromosome pair increases crossing over in a non-homologous pair of chromosomes. The effect was defini...

Chromosomal inversions and the reproductive isolation of species.

Recent genetic studies have suggested that many genes contribute to differences between closely related species that prevent gene exchange, particularly hybrid male sterility and female species preferences. We have examined the genetic basis of hybrid sterility and female species preferences in Drosophila pseudoobscura and Drosophila persimilis, two occasionally hybridizing North American speci...
