Abstract
Inbreeding depression observed on fecundity of adultDrosophila depends on the effect observed during development of the eggs laid by their parents. This depression does not then depend on the homozygosity per se of the adult genome. It is mainly due to the deleterious effect observed primarily during embryogenesis.Keywords
