Abstract
The Payne inversion is scattered throughout many natural and laboratory populations of Drosophila melanogaster. The results of this study show that the majority of flies in the tumorous-head strain are heterozygous for a chromosome containing this inversion and the recessive mutant, scarlet eyes. This chromosome is maintained, in the laboratory stock at a high frequency through a heterotic mechanism.Keywords
