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

Form the wing phenotypes and germline clone embryonic cuticle phenotypes observed in these mutant alleles, a number of mutant alleles of known or unknown genes were isolated. Among them, fifteen mutant alleles related to Wingless signal transduction were further isolated; the arm of these mutations located were determined, and their location in the chromosome were roughly mapped.展开更多
