Positive correlation between male recombination and Minute mutation frequencies in Drosophila ananassae.

Abstract

Minute mutation and male recombination frequencies in the F1 progeny from the cross b se; bri ru female×wild-type male of 37 strains varied considerably among strains. A positive correlation between Minute mutation and male recombination frequencies was demonstrated. This suggests the possibility that a series of inducers and suppressors are responsible for both these traits.
