| Research Abstract |
Many inbred and isofemale lines derived from wild populations of Drosophila melanogaster were tested for gonadal dysgenic sterility, male recombination and sn<omega> secondary mutation. Among them, we have found strains whose dysgenic offspring show negligible sterility, and undetectable male recombination and sn<^(omega) mutation. They can be considered to be neutral strains in the strict sense. Such neutral strains appear to carry only defective P elements in their genomes. Taking the observations of Karess & Rubin (1984) into account, it is suggested that some defective P elements retain the function necessary for P cytotype. Cytotype determination mechanisms are discussed.
