Radiation-induced translocations in the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, linking the Y chromosome to either autosome 3 or 4 produced pseudolinkage between sex and the mutations dark pupa (dp) and apricot eye (ap), respectively. The genetic behaviour of six new strains is described and the structural basis of five of them is determined through analysis of polytene and mitotic chromosomes. Five strains exhibited low levels of recombination; however, one strain produced a larger number than expected of aberrant, wild-type females. We provide evidence that this is the consequence of the survival of adjacent-1 segregation products until adulthood.Key words: medfly, mass rearing, genetic sexing, recombination, segregation.
