A genetic analysis of phototactic behavior in Drosophila melanogaster. II. Hybridization of divergent populations

T A Markow. Behav Genet. 1975 Oct.

Abstract

Artificial selection has produced populations of Drosophila melanogaster which show either positive or negative phototactic behavior. Selection was carried out in the presence of various marked multiple inversions used to suppress genetic recombination. Reciprocal hybridizations between photopositive and photonegative populations of flies have revealed the X chromosome of D. melanogaster to be important in phototactic behavior regardless of conditions which restricted genetic recombination during selection.
