Developmental analysis of fs(1)1867, an egg resorption mutation of Drosophila melanogaster. 1980

J Szabad, and J Szidonya

The X-linked 1867+ gene seems to be a pleiotropic one. Mutation in this gene causes delay in development and abnormal bristle morphology. These phenotypes are expressed autonomously in genetic mosaics. There is no focus for the delay. The female sterility could be localized to the ovary (based on ovary transplantations). It seems that the 1867+ gene is expressed in the follicular cells at one of the last steps of oogenesis. This is suggested by the results of mosaic analysis based on mitotic recombination. Possible drawbacks of the mitotic recombination type of analyses are also discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009030 Mosaicism The occurrence in an individual of two or more cell populations of different chromosomal constitutions, derived from a single ZYGOTE, as opposed to CHIMERISM in which the different cell populations are derived from more than one zygote.
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D010063 Ovum A mature haploid female germ cell extruded from the OVARY at OVULATION. Egg,Egg, Unfertilized,Ova,Eggs, Unfertilized,Unfertilized Egg,Unfertilized Eggs
D003433 Crosses, Genetic Deliberate breeding of two different individuals that results in offspring that carry part of the genetic material of each parent. The parent organisms must be genetically compatible and may be from different varieties or closely related species. Cross, Genetic,Genetic Cross,Genetic Crosses
D004331 Drosophila melanogaster A species of fruit fly frequently used in genetics because of the large size of its chromosomes. D. melanogaster,Drosophila melanogasters,melanogaster, Drosophila
D005260 Female Females
D005808 Genes, Recessive Genes that influence the PHENOTYPE only in the homozygous state.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
