Sex-linked Inheritance in Drosophila

Drosophila; Heredity
The data show that the factor for fused lies about 3 units to the right of
bar. This is the furthest point yet obtained to the right. The reasons for
locating fused to the right of bar are that, if it occupies such a
position, then the double cross-over classes (which are expected to be the
smallest classes) should be vermilion bar and fused, and these are, in
fact, the smallest classes. The order of factors is, then, vermilion, bar,
fused. This order is confirmed by the result that the number of cross-overs
between fused and vermilion is greater than that between bar and vermilion.
In order to obtain data to balance viability effects, the following
experiment was made:
Vermilion (not-bar) fused males were bred to (red) bar (not-fused) females.
The daughters and sons were bar. The daughters were back-crossed, singly,
to vermilion fused males and gave the results shown in table 35. Each
female was also transferred to a second culture bottle, so that for each
female there are two broods given consecutively (82, 82', etc.) in table
35.
The results given by the two broods of the same female are similar. The
values are very near to those given in the last experiment, and confirm the
conclusions there drawn. The combined data give the results shown in table
36. {56}
