title: [New sex-linked mutation of wings fragility with age-depended expression (fw) in Musca domestica L].
abstract: A mutation of wing fragility that was not yet been revealed in adult housefly is described. Criss-cross inheritance of the character of fragility of the wing blade, which indicates localization of gene (fw) for this character in the X chromosome. Phenotypic expression of the mutant allele depends on sex. In male flies, the mutant allele in hemizygous state is expressed at the age of 2-3 weeks and older with penetrance close to 100%. In females, the mutant allele in homozygous state is lethal and in heterozygous state, totally recessive.
