SUMMARYThe presumed duplicational nature of white ivory (wi) of Drosophila melanogaster was tested by crossing over. It was observed that w neither reduces nor enhances recombination in the intervals marked by subsites 1 and 3 and 4 and 5 of the white locus. The duplicational nature of this mutant site is questioned.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
