✦ Synopsis

The copy number of the mdg-1 mobile element was determined by biotinylated-DNA hybridization, in salivary gland chromosomes of inbred Drosophila melanogaster larvae from sib progenies. It appears that the lower the egg-to-adult survival (viability), the higher the mdg-1 copy number in the surviving larvae. This suggests a common regulation of the mdg-1 copy number and the viability under inbreeding.

A family of unstable mutations at the cut locus in Drosophila melanogaster was obtained under the conditions of hybrid dysgenesis (Gerasimova 1981(Gerasimova , 1982)). The in situ hybridization experiments have shown that, in the original unstable ct Msz mutation, the 7B region of the X chromosome (

Using the in situ hybridization technique, we have analysed the distribution of mobile elements in the X chromosomes of male offspring of individual mutator strain (MS) males crossed to attached-X females. The experiments demonstrate varying cytological localization of the mobile elements gypsy (mdg
