The inheritance of golden body, a sex linked mutant in the malaria vector Anopheles culicifacies.
Genetic analysis of a golden body mutant in Anopheles culicifacies Giles indicated that it is linked to the X chromosome. Linkage experiments with two other X-linked mutants indicated that the gene sequence was re-Vs-go and the observed recombination frequencies among them were as follows: re-Vs = 14.0%, Vs-go = 7.8% and re-go = 21.8%.
