Potential Genetic Variability of Wild Pairs of Drosophila melanogaster

Roger Milkman 1

1 Department of Zoology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Eleven of 21 wild pairs of Drosophlila niielaniogaster tested gave rise to at least 1 fly with crossvein defects out of 1000 F2 progeny. Considered in the light of additional information, the results support the idea that an individual lpossesses to a large degree the potential variability of the population of which he is a member.
