Induced chromosomal aberrations and linkage group-chromosome correlation in Anopheles stephensi.
Genetic and cytogenetic investigations of 14 strains of Anopheles stephensi with induced chromosomal aberrations have resulted in the assignment of the three linkage groups to their respective chromosomes. In addition, the correlation between the ovarian polytene chromosomes and the mitotic chromosomes was demonstrated. Indirect evidence for the presence of heterochromatic segments in the chromosomal complement was found.
