Three sets of experiments have been conducted in order to evaluate the role of natural selection at the c~-Gpdh locus in Drosophila melanogaster. (1) The evolution of the F-allele frequency has been followed for many generations in 13 experimental populations having different genetic backgrounds. (
A highly inbred, long-term selected for low fitness strain LA of Drosophila melanogaster posesses a significant mutational load and unusually high rates of spontaneous mutability as revealed by CyL/Pm method. Our results indicate that during cross of CyL/Pm to LA strains, destabilization of copia-li
