G1: y cm ct6 otu17/w ♀̆ × ♂♂ y cm ct6 sn3 v/Y. Nondisjunction is based on XO only. Data for 17 mothers.

G2: y cm ct6 sn3/w ♀̆ × ♂♂ y cm ct6 sn3 v/Y. The y-ct region on the w+ chromosome is identical to that of the w+ chromosome in cross G1. Nondisjunction is based on XO only. Data for 10 females.

H: w cm Sxlf4 sn/cm Sxlf4 v f; al b c sp/+ ♀̆♀̆ × ♂♂ y w cm ct6 sn3/Y; al b c sp/CyO. sn-f distance based on w+sn+ sons only. Data for first 9 days of progeny from 300 mothers (50/vial).

Data for 200 and 50 mothers, respectively, (50/vial). K1 progeny were collected for 9 days, while K2 progeny were collected over the same period, but progeny from days 3, 6, and 7 were not scored.

a

Progeny scored are those on which the recombination rate calculations were made. Unless otherwise stated, progeny were from the first 10 days of laying.
