A comparison of intra-and inter-gene recombination in the meiotic mutant c(3)G of drosophila melanogaster

In females homozygous for the meiotic mutant c(3)G, a reasonable amount of intergenic recombination was found to occur, while no intragenic recombination could be detected at the white locus. On the other hand, a significant increase in both inter-and intragenic recombination was observed in females heterozygous for the same mutation. These results are discussed in the context of the synaptonemal complex formation during chromosome pairing in the mutant.
