Localization of genes coding for biochemical traits on the second chromosome of Drosophila imeretensis Sokolov (D. littoralis Meigen).
We have investigated 13 alleles of four genes coding for acid phosphatase, alpha- and beta-esterases, and malic enzyme. The genes were localized and their positions regarding the centromere are as follows: Acph-1--centromere--Me--cu--dt--alpha-Est--[Inversion 2t]--beta-Est. The occurrence of crossing over in Drosophila imeretensis males, as well as the tetrameric structure of malic enzyme, was confirmed.
