✦ Synopsis
In order to study the degree of genetic differentiation in natural populations of Drosophila ananassae, the mean genetic identity has been computed on the basis of differences in the gene arrangement frequencies. The estimates of genetic identity suggest that the populations from Kerala, South India are genetically similar to the populations from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands though they are isolated by nearly 2 000 km of water. However, the South Indian populations are genetically more differentiated than the North Indian populations.
