Gene Polymorphism in Natural Populations of DROSOPHILA PERSIMILIS.
نویسنده
چکیده
Genetic variation at 43 loci has been studied in six different populations of Drosophila persimilis by electrophoresis of enzymes and proteins. In D. persimilis the mean proportion of polymorphic loci is 0.362, the mean proportion of heterozygous loci per individual is 0.100 and the average number of alleles per locus is 1.651. In all populations, the loci coding for the hydrolytic and other nonspecific enzymes are much more variable than the loci coding for the enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, Kreb's cycle, other specific enzymes and larval proteins. Most loci have similar allele frequency in all populations except the two loci, Amylase and Pt-12, which show a pattern of associations of different alleles with different third chromosome inversions.

REVIOUS work has shown that populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura which inhabit localities only a few miles apart may differ in the incidence of certain genetic variants. Furthermore, the composition of a population may change with time; the changes are either cyclic, paralleling the annual succession of seasons, or exhibit more sustained trends which may last for several years. Thus, the pop...

T least three principal facts concerning the adaptive functions of chromosomal A variants (inversions) in Drosophila populations have been established notably by DOBZHANSKY (1947, 1955), DOBZHANSKY and WALLACE (1953), DOBZHANSKY and LEVENE (1951), DOBZHANSKY and PAVLOVSKY (1953), and WALLACE (1953) : 1) Natural selection may build up particular genic complexes in a chromosomal variant adapting ...
متن کاملInferring the history of speciation from multilocus DNA sequence data: the case of Drosophila pseudoobscura and close relatives.
The divergence of Drosophila pseudoobscura from its close relatives, D. persimilis and D. pseudoobscura bogotana, was examined using the pattern of DNA sequence variation in a common set of 50 inbred lines at 11 loci from diverse locations in the genome. Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis show a marked excess of low-frequency variation across loci, consistent with a model of recent popu...

This is the first study on phylogenetic relationships in the genus Artemia Leach, 1819 using the pattern and sequence of secondary structures of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1). Significant intraspecific variation in the secondary structure of ITS1 rRNA was found in Artemia tibetiana. In the phylogenetic tree based on joined primary and secondary structure sequences, Artemia urmiana and pa...
متن کاملDivergence between the Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis genome sequences in relation to chromosomal inversions.
As whole-genome sequence assemblies accumulate, a challenge is to determine how these can be used to address fundamental evolutionary questions, such as inferring the process of speciation. Here, we use the sequence assemblies of Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis to test hypotheses regarding divergence with gene flow. We observe low differentiation between the two genome sequences in p...
