ABSTRACT Several stocks, selected because they carried previously identified factors governing either crossing over in males or mutability, were examined to determine whether the effects of these factors are restricted to one or the other process. Neither of two dominant enhancers of male crossing over had detectable effects on Minute mutation frequencies among progenies of assayed F1 males. Genetically equivalent F1 males monitored for crossing over showed no unequivocal effect of either of three mutators (two dominant and one extrachromosomal) or of a suppressor of mutability. However, one combination of a dominant crossover enhancer with a dominant mutator showed synergistic increases in both crossover and Minute frequencies, and the possibility exists that a single extrachromosomally transmitted element suppresses both male crossing over and mutability. This suppressor element (or elements) had been previously diagnosed in the pc stock which, in this study, was discovered to have also a dominant enhancer of male crossing over and a dominant mutator occupying separable loci in the third chromosome. The pc enhancer of male crossing over differs from the dominant enhancer in another stock with respect to the regional distribution of crossovers, and the pc mutator is distinguished from another 3-linked mutator by its preferential induction of mutations at the Delta locus.

Spontaneous crossing over in males of Drosophila ananassae has been well demonstrated using F1 individuals from crosses between marker stocks and wild type strains. However, the question of its occurrence in males from natural populations remained open. Here we present the cytological evidence that crossing over does occur in males of D. ananassae from two Brazilian populations, sampled nearly 21 years apart, and in two recently sampled populations, one from Indonesia and one from Okinawa, Japan. Cytological analysis of meiosis in males collected from nature and in sons of females from the same population inseminated in nature revealed the presence of chiasmata, inversion chiasmata, and isosite chromosome breakages in the diplotene cells in all sampled populations. These data demonstrate that reciprocal and nonreciprocal exchanges and chromosome breakages, previously reported as related events of male crossing over, do occur at variable frequencies among males from natural populations.

Random Occurrence

Linkage disequilibrium has been studied among three linked enzyme loci of second chromosome of D. ananassae collected from five natural populations. Each of the three enzyme loci, that is Acph1, Acph 2 and Xdh was represented by two distinct alleles and in three genotypic forms. Thus nine genotypic combinations were recorded for each enzyme pair. The results clearly show absence of non-random occurrence of different genotypic combinations in all the populations studied. The occurrence of all possible genotypic combinations indicates enough frequency of crossing over among these enzyme loci. The absence of linkage disequilibrium in this study thus indicates that selection did not play any role and free recombination among the genes resulted random occurrence of all combinations.

Chromosome Inversions

Experiments were conducted to detect the effects of heterozygous inversions on spontaneous crossing-over in males of Drosophila ananassae by using a second chromosome triple recessive stock and four wild stocks. The karyotypic constitution of all the stocks was known. The occurrence of spontaneous male crossing-over has been observed in all the strains tested though the rate of recombination varies. The results show that crossing-over is completely absent between cu and b genes due to inversion heterozygosity in 2L. The males homozygous in 2L show crossing-over in both regions (cu–b, b–se). The inversion heterozygosity in 2L increases the rate of recombination between b and se genes. Furthermore, two third chromosome inversions, when heterozygous also increase crossing-over in the second chromosome. These results suggest that spontaneous male crossing-over in D. ananassae is affected by heterozygous inversions. Thus the present finding lends support to the earlier suggestion that spontaneous crossing-over in males of D. ananassae is meiotic in origin.Key words: Drosophila ananassae, heterozygous inversions, spontaneous male crossing-over.
