It has been shown repeatedly that numerous cumulative changes occur in chromosomes of D. melanogaster, as an effect of ageing which, especially in the homozygous state, significantly affect different fitness components of their carriers. It appears that the observed age-affected events are produced
## Abstract A new __cryptocephal (crc)__ phenocopy agent is described for __Drosophila melanogaster__. The morphogenetic action of this agent, hydroxyproline (OHP) is compared to that of another __crc__ phenocopy agent, glucosamine HCI (GA). The sensitive period for OHP lasts somewhat longer than t
An analysis of the modifiers affecting the expression of the vg gene was performed. We selected for weak and strong expression of the vg mutant in F2 segregating populations obtained by crossing o vestigial stock with on Oregon laboratory stock (0) and with a wild strain (B) captured near Bologna, I
The electrophoretic variants of G6PD and 6PGD isolated from the Bogota Drosophila melanogaster population were characterized developmentally and biochemically. Changes in in vitro enzyme activity during development were comparable to those found for other dehydrogenases: an increase in the larval an
