Hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: (a) Male Drosophila of the P cytotype crossed to females of the M cytotype produce F1 progeny
that are largely infertile due to mutations resulting from P element transposition. (b) Crosses of P-cytotype females to males with either the
P or the M cytotype yield F1 progeny of normal fertility
