title: Meiotic segregation and male recombination in interspecific hybrids of Drosophila.
abstract: Male hybrids between three pairs of Drosophila species show no substantial distortion of Mendelian segregation and no appreciable male recombination. These results do not support the theories that meiotic drive alleles of large effect are often fixed within species and that transposable genetic elements cause speciation.
