[Chromosome substitution and genotype adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster]. 1998

L V Levchuk, and V M Tots'kyĭ

The subject of research was the relative adaptability and some of its components (fertility, heat resistance, longevity under the normal conditions and under the conditions of starvation) of the line flies D. melanogaster (C-S, cn, vg) and derived forms received in the result of reciprocal substitution of chromosomes 1, 2 and 3. The experiments performed, showed that the intrusion of the alien chromosomes into the karyotype of analysed line flies caused the decline in adaptability index in the most variants of experiment.

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
D002875	Chromosomes	In a prokaryotic cell or in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, a structure consisting of or containing DNA which carries the genetic information essential to the cell. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)	Chromosome
D003434	Crossing Over, Genetic	The reciprocal exchange of segments at corresponding positions along pairs of homologous CHROMOSOMES by symmetrical breakage and crosswise rejoining forming cross-over sites (HOLLIDAY JUNCTIONS) that are resolved during CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION. Crossing-over typically occurs during MEIOSIS but it may also occur in the absence of meiosis, for example, with bacterial chromosomes, organelle chromosomes, or somatic cell nuclear chromosomes.
