Notes:
Abstract Divergent directional selection produced three pairs of lines each consisting of a line with high and a line with low locomotor activity. Reciprocal crosses between the high and low lines of one of these pairs showed that a considerable part of the activity differences was contributed by differences between the X chromosomes. This was confirmed by a substitution of the three large chromosomes, between the low and the high lines. The two large autosomal chromosomes had only minor effects. Interactions between chromosomes were sometimes significant. Low-activity alleles tended to be dominant over alleles for high activity.
