The purpose of this work was to analyze the difference between males and females with respect to rDNA magnification. To study eventual rDNA variations in females aYbb chromosome was chosen since it can magnify in males but not show phenomena of rDNA dosage compensation. The authors have observed an
The multiplicity of the genes for ribosomal RNA varies in several ways. The series of bb mutants are an example of mutant phenotypes associated with deficiencies of the rDNA. In certain genotypes the amount of rDNA present can disproportionately replicate and in some cases become incorporated into t
Illumination by visible light (400 lx) of cultures containing larvae of Drosophila melanogaster can reduce survival (Bruins et al., Insect Biochemistry 21:535-539, 1991). Here we show that the effect of light depends on the presence of propionic or acetic acid in the food medium. We also show that s
