Divergent directional selection for high and low pupation height was practiced in D. melanogaster. A quick response was observed in the two directions of selection. This is the first time selection for low pupation sites was successful. Realized heritabilities were 18% and 13% for the high and low l
In order to study a possible conne&tion between allozymic and quantitative variation in D. melanogaster, three selection experiments were carried out, using founder strains of known genetic and chromosomal composition. The Adh and CuGpdh-1 enzyme loci have been used as genetic markers and the maxim
