Abstract
Fifteen visible mutants of the housefly have been isolated from Japanese populations and developed in marker strains suitable for genetic investigation. Although 6 linkage groups were to be expected from the known chromosome number, no sex-linked visible mutants were found, all the mutants being assignable to any of the 5 autosomal linkage groups. In one strain the characteristic w+ of the second chromosome behaved as if it were sex-limited. It was suggested that the Y-chromosome was occasionally translocated to the second chromosome.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
