Abstract
THE possibility of artificially inducing crossing-over in males of Drosophila melanogaster1 has enabled us to attempt by genetic methods the study of the direct causes of the suppression of crossing-over in Drosophila males. Investigations on the effect of inversions on crossing-over evoked by subjecting Drosophila males to X-ray treatment may apparently throw light on this problem.
