Mutations in wild populations in Drosophila.

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes the chronological resume of several investigations genetic variability in wild populations Drosophila. It deals with localized mutations, although these some cases may be associated inversions and other gross chromosomal rearrangements mutation. Assumption is made that variants found are due to mutations have occurred at undetermined time past history population or lines contributed its structure. concluded all species Drosophila investigated this carry a rich store furnishes adequate material not only for long-time evolutionary changes but also rapid adjustments environmental extremes which they subjected during seasonal cycles through pass.
