  • Title: Recombination in the region between the marker forked and the centromere in inbred Drosophila melanogaster XX and XXY females.
    Author: Palmgren B.
    Journal: Hereditas; 1990; 112(3):277-81. PubMed ID: 2120151.
    Abstract:
    Recombination in the proximal X chromosome interval (forked-centromere) has been studied in hybrids from two inbred lines of Drosophila melanogaster. Attached Ysy+ arms or the proximal region of the Dp (1:1) scV1y+ were used as markers of the centromere. A derived Y chromosome (BsYK) induced a reduction of the recombination frequency in only one of five comparative experiments of XXBsYK and XX females. In two of the tests there was a higher frequency of recombination in the presence of the BsYK. This is not consistent with a competitive preexchange XX and XY association, which according to a generally accepted idea should result in an inevitable decrease in recombination. This is considered as further evidence for non-random Y distribution at regular X disjunction being determined after exchange.
