Abstract:Males carrying, inserted on their Y chromosome, a small fragment of X including the w + (and N +) locus (white-mottled Confluens, w m Co), were crossed with the purpose of scoring exceptional progeny. Some of the male and female exceptions were progeny tested and further analysed. Among the various mechanisms which may lead to exceptional offspring, X-Y exchanges proved to occur with a not negligible frequency. The rate was 3%. Nondisjunction accounts for the bulk of the remaining exceptions and appears to be increased considerably in the presence of rearrangements on one or the other of the sex chromosomes.The w m Co fragment after having been switched from Y to X by some mechanism other than regular crossing over, may become retransferred to a normal Y chromosome, but at a rate below 3%.
