ABSTRACT The effect of heterozygosity for structural rearrangements on recombination between two wx heteroalleles (C and 90) and the pattern of flanking markers in the resultant Wx gametes has been examined. The rearrangements are Tp9, an insertional translocation in which a segment of chromosome 3 has been inserted into the short arm of chromosome 9 close to the wx locus; In9a, a long pericentric inversion with wx in the inverted segment; and Rearr 9, a complex rearrangement of chromosome 9. Heterozygosity for rearrangements decreases the frequency of Wx gametes to varying degrees.—Heterozygosity for Tp9 enhances the proportion of Wx gametes that are apparent convertants and allows the conclusion that such gametes do not normally arise from an exchange in the wx locus plus a second exchange distal to wx. Heterozygosity for In9a markedly decreases the frequency of Wx gametes that are recombinant for outside markers but does not decrease the frequency of convertants.—Heterozygosity for Rearr 9 permits a low frequency of Wx gametes, all of which are apparent convertants.—A high proportion of the convertants have the flanking markers that entered the cross with C so recombination is polarized in normal homologs and in heterozygotes for all rearrangements.

SUMMARYA modifier locus is described that alters the level of phenotypic expression of the third chromosome mutant glass in a sex specific manner. Alternative alleles either confer a sexually dimorphic level of pigment in glass mutants, with the male being greater, or cause similar expression in the two sexes. The alleles are indistinguishable in females but produce the respective phenotypes in males. The gene maps to the tip of the X chromosome at position 0·96 ± 0·11. Cytologically, the locus is present between polytene bands 3A6–8 and 3C2–3 as determined by its inclusion in translocated X segments in w + Y, Dp(l;2)w70h31 and Dp(l;3)w67k27 The dimorphic allele is dominant to the nondimorphic condition in males heterozygous for an insertional translocation carrying the dimorphic allele and a normal chromosome carrying the nondimorphic form. The dimorphic allele in two doses in males does not exhibit a dosage effect. The modifier phenotype is unaffected in two X flies by the presence of the transformer mutation.
