GENE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIRD-CHROMOSOME INVERSIONS OF DROSOPHILA PSEUDOOBSCURA

1 Department of Biology, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14627

Associations of alleles of the acid phosphatase-3 locus with the different third-chromosome inversions from different populations of D. pseudoobscura are described. We observe only the allele AP-3 1.0 in the Standard and Arrow-head inversions and the allele AP-3.98 in the Santa Cruz, Treeline, Cuernavaca and the Pikes Peak arrangements. The Chiricahua gene arrangement is polymorphic.
