A Method for chromosome location of new Autosomal recessive mutations of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) based on crosses with three strains bearing autosomal-Y translocations

Un método para la localización cromosómica de nuevas mutaciones autosómicas y recesivas en Ceratitis capitata (Wiedmann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) basado en cruzamientos con tres líneas portadoras de translocaciones Y-autosoma

A method is proposed to locate any new autosomal and recessive mutation in the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wied.). A series of crosses searches for pseudo-linkage between sex and the mutation by employing three strains with Y-linked translocations, thereby indicating its chromosome location.
