A family of unstable mutations at the cut locus in Drosophila melanogaster was obtained under the conditions of hybrid dysgenesis (Gerasimova 1981(Gerasimova , 1982)). The in situ hybridization experiments have shown that, in the original unstable ct Msz mutation, the 7B region of the X chromosome (

Bi-directional selection was carried out in coisogenic stocks with and without mobilised P element transposons to determine whether P elements induce quantitative genetic variation for inebriation time in Drosophila. There was significant response to 11 generations of selection in both pairs of repl
A number of mutations at the cut locus were induced by non-precise exision of a silent P-element insertion which resulted in deletions at the regulatory region of the locus. Unexpectedly, a reversion of one of these mutations was found, which appears as a result of insertion of Stalker (a retrovirus
