On recombination among In(2L)t, alpha-Gpdh and Adh in Drosophila melanogaster.
The occurrence and patterns of linkage disequilibrium between an inversion and allozymic loci within it or nearby have been used in attempts to discriminate among different hypotheses for the maintenance of variability. The interpretation of the data on the best-documented case, that of the nonrandom association between In(2L)t and alpha-Gpdh or Adh in the second chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster, has been done on the basis that recombination between alpha-Gpdh and Adh is almost entirely due to the recombination between In(2L)t and the locus within it (alpha-Gpdh), the recombination between the inversion and the nearby locus (Adh) being negligible. In this paper, we show that the pattern of recombination is just the opposite.
