The mutations manifest in some, not all representatives of a species. Collections of these mutations in chromosomes X, 2, and 3 of Drosophila melanogaster were established. Sex of fly or chromosomal rearrangement was the conditions providing "manifestation-non manifestation" of these mutations. The mutations differ from the usual by a set of properties. The salient differences in addition to conditional manifestation include: manifestation dependence on the spatial arrangement of chromosomal material in the genome, parental effects (maternal or paternal) of the mutant, capacity for transferring the genome from stable to unstable state. It is suggested that conditional mutations are mutant variants of Drosophila regulatory genes contained by the large Genomic Regulatory Network of Drosophila. Thus, the genes of this category can be detected by using special breeding procedures, mutations of these genes have unusual manifestation.展开更多
