Genetic decay of balancer chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster

Theoretical considerations predict that balancer chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster should accumulate numerous deleterious mutations with time. We counted the number of recessive lethal mutations on two balancer chromosomes from the In(2LR)SM1/In(2LR)Pm strain maintained in our lab, after making...
