Gamma irradiatin of GA-1 [wild-type].

Description:
|
• Dominant allele of mc on LG 5, with a similar range of expression [see mc]. Ey is a T[2;5].
• The lethality seems to be associated with LG 2, since Dp[2]/Ey/Ey is viable [where Dp is derived from mxpDch/Es1].
• Ey is a good HOM-C balancer, [good crossover suppression, fertile, fully penetrant, heterozygotes extremely viable, homozygous lethal]. Only one recombinant [out of ca. 2000] has been observed, placing Ey closer to the mxp-apt region than to the A region.
