Recombination between heterozygous inversions in Drosophila ananassae

  • Published:
Genetica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The rate of recombination between linked inversions of the third chromosome of Drosophila ananassae has been investigated by means of the salivary gland smear technique. Different homozygous strains of the species were utilised during the present investigation. The data show that the crossover rate between heterozygous inversions of the third chromosome of D. ananassae varies among different strains. This suggests that recombination between heterozygous inversions is influenced by genic (strain) factors.
