[Effect of mei mutations on the processes occurring in the double super-unstable system at the yellow and scute loci in Drosophila melanogaster].
The influence of meiotic mutations on the mutation changes in the double super-unstable system in the yellow and scute loci of Drosophila melanogaster was studied. The mei-41D5 and mei-218 mutations changed the spectrum and frequency of mutagenesis in males of the y2nsscme strain, in contrast to the postulate that meiotic mutations do not interfere with male recombination in D. melanogaster. These mutations also changed the frequency and spectrum of mutagenesis in females. In particular, they inhibited mutagenesis at early stages of ovogenesis. Meiotic conversion did not change specifically by mei mutations. At the same time, the mei-41D5 mutation increased all recombination processes in meiosis. The results obtained indicated the involvement of genetic recombination in mutation changes occurring in the double super-unstable system. Therefore, the latter may be successfully used in studies of the role of different genes and their products in recombination.
