Abstract
WHILE engaged in experiments on the possible effects of ultra-violet irradiation on crossing-over between black and vestigial in the second chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster, two stocks, black-long (bbVV) and grey-vestigial (BBvv) (obtained from Prof. Tammes, director of the Genetics Institute of the State University at Groningen), were crossed and the offspring allowed to interbreed in order to obtain double-recessives as from the F3 onwards for back-cross purposes.
