THE GENETICS OF A SMALL AUTOSOMAL REGION OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER CONTAINING THE STRUCTURAL GENE FOR ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE. I. CHARACTERIZATION OF DEFICIENCIES AND MAPPING OF ADH AND VISIBLE MUTATIONS

The position of the structural gene coding for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in Drosophila melanogaster has been shown to be within polytene chromosome bands 35B1 and 35B3, most probably within 35B2. The genetic and cytological properties of twelve deficiencies in polytene chromosome region 34–35 have been characterized, eleven of which include Adh. Also mapped cytogenetically are seven other recessive visible mutant loci. Flies heterozygous for overlapping deficiencies that include both the Adh locus and that for the outspread mutant (osp: a recessive wing phenotype) are homozygous viable and show a complete ADH negative phenotype and strong osp phenotype. These deficiencies probably include two polytene chromosome bands, 35B2 and 35B3.
