RESUMO
The segregation of compound-second chromosomes in males from two different stocks has been examined. Segregation is random in males from the C(2L)RM4, dp; C(2R)RM4, px stock. Gametes containing only one of the two compound chromosomes comprise 50% of the gametes, and gametes containing either both elements or neither element make up the other 50% of the gametes.——In males from the C(2L)RM, b; C(2R)RM, cn stock, gametes containing either C(2L)RM, b or C(2R)RM, cn make up the majority of the gametes. Gametes containing both chromosomes or neither chromosome account for only 2-3% of the gametes. The nonrandom segregation is due to the C(2R)RM, cn chromosome.——Viability is reduced in flies carrying the C(2R)RM, cn chromosome. This includes larval lethality, delayed development and premature adult lethality. Cytologically, this chromosome contains a large duplication of 2L material, which includes material proximal to region 38 or 39. It is suggested that the viability and segregational properties associated with this chromosome are due to the duplicated 2L material.
