A New Gene in the Second Chromosome of Drosophila and Some Considerations on Differential Viability

Abstract

Morgan and Lynch (BIOL. BULL., '12) and Morgan (Science, '12) have reported the linkage relations of two non-sex-linked genes, black and vestigial. Morgan considered these two genes as lying in a "second chromosome," the first chromosome being the sex chromosome. He showed that in the female there was a considerable amount of crossing over between these two genes, but in the male there was none at all so far as the data showed.
