analysis of genetic consequences of selection and inbreeding in Drosophila melanogaster

The goal of this work was to reveal the genetic consequences of selection on a physiological characteristic - the level of male sexual activity of fruit flies. The authors combine both selectionist and mutational approaches. In the course of the combined study of the inbred line "LA" (low...

Description
Summary:The goal of this work was to reveal the genetic consequences of selection on a physiological characteristic - the level of male sexual activity of fruit flies. The authors combine both selectionist and mutational approaches. In the course of the combined study of the inbred line "LA" (low activity) selected for a large number of generations, he regularly isolated mutations of other types. By studying these mutations, he reveals the main genetic characteristics of this inbred line.
