Abstract
This brief note simply describes the elimination of a recessive autosomal lethal from an experimental population of fruit flies in which its initial frequency was 0.50. The elimination pattern agrees well with that expected of a lethal that reduces the fitness of heterozygotes by 10%.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
