LINKAGE OF CHERRY, DEPRESSED, AND VERMILION.
The linkage value 38 (see table 49) indicates that depressed is somewhere
near the opposite end of the series of sex-linked factors from bar. The
locus could be more accurately determined by finding the linkage relations
of depressed with gens at its end of the chromosome. Accordingly, depressed
females were crossed to cherry vermilion males. F_1 gave wild-type females
and depressed males. The daughters bred again to cherry vermilion males
gave the results shown in table 50. The data only suffice to show that the
locus of depressed is about midway between cherry and vermilion, or at
about 15 units from yellow.
The F_1 males in the last experiment did not have their wings as much
depressed as is the condition in stock males, and in F_2 most of the
depressed winged males were of the F_1 type, although a few were like those
of stock. This result suggests that the stock is a double recessive,
_i. e._, one that contains, in addition to the sex-linked depressed, an
autosomal factor that intensifies the effect of the primary sex-linked
factor.
