GENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE ACHAETE-SCUTE SYSTEM OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
Abstract
Several mutations in the achaete-scute region of Drosophila have been analyzed phenotypically and cytologically. One group of them corresponds to point mutations, another t o rearrangements with one breakpoint in this region. Trans heterozygotes of the different point mutations or of the different rearrangements show poor complementation or fail to complement; therefore, they could be interpreted as mutations affecting the same gene product. However, left-right inversion recombinants and duplication-deficiency combinations between rearrangements with different cytological breakpoints uncover a complex organization of the achaete-scute region. This region seems to contain several independent achaete and scute functions, as well as a lethal function, arranged as a tandem reverse repeat at both sides of a lethal locus. Since all of the mutants show the same phenotype qualitatively, though different quantitatively, we suggest that these functions are of a reiterative nature. The achaete-scute wild-type condition may well be dependent on a multimeric gene product made of several evolutionary related monomers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
