[Expression of the quantitative trait radius incompletus, temperature effects and localization of mobile genetic elements in Drosophila. II. Mobile genetic elements Dm-412].

Two "selection" sub-populations (ris- and ris+), as well as two "temperature" ones (ric113 and ric149) were earlier developed from the control ric sub-population with interrupted vein of the fly wing. All five sub-populations were investigated for hybridization of MGE Dm-412 with drosophila polytene chromosomes in situ. The tree of similarity of MGE Dm-412 hybridization patterns was built by the methods of matrix clusterization. The sub-populations with the most resembling expressions of characters (ris- and ric113, ris+ and ric149) were found to be also most similar in patterns of MGE localization and their changes. Nonrandomness of these changes was shown, the similarity of patterns being demonstrated to be mainly the result of the changes. There is evidence that such effects cannot be accounted for by genetic drift and independent stochastic changes in MGE localization.
