Popis: | The separate identities of the male-determining factor, M, and the sex-linked Distorter gene, D, are established in an Accra strain of Aedes aegypti. Their to each other and to Giemsa C-bands. Thus, M is invariably inherited with the centromere, whereas D lies towards the intercalary band. Approximately 1.2% recombination occurs between M and D but, in a chromosome known for its distal localization of chiasmata, it is argued that he two are not necessarily as closely linked cytologically as this might imply. Evidence on the genetic effects of recombination in the region of M and D is also considered. |
