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.

Chromosome Inversions

Crossing-over was studied in females of Drosophila ananassae under different karyotypic combinations to detect the effects of heterozygous inversions by utilizing three recessive markers of the second chromosome. Because of the presence of a subterminal inversion (2L) in the heterozygous condition, crossing-over between the cu and b genes is completely eliminated. However, 2L heterozygosity enhances the level of recombination between the b and se genes. Furthermore, two third chromosome inversions when heterozygous also exert an enhancing effect on crossing-over in the second chromosome. These results provide evidence for the existence of intra- and inter-chromosomal effects of inversions on crossing-over in D. ananassae. Key words: Drosophila ananassae, crossing-over, inversions, intrachromosomal effects, interchromosomal effects.

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.
