Balancers and stock keeping<br />
only heterozygous<br />
flies survive and<br />
maintain the stock<br />
• balancers carry easily identifiable dominant and recessive markers<br />
• balancers are homozygous lethal or sterile<br />
• the products of recombination involving balancers are lethal<br />
• During mating schemes, balancers can be used to prevent unwanted<br />
recombination - providing an additional means to the recombination rule.<br />
• You can use balancers and their dominant markers strategic<strong>all</strong>y to follow markerless<br />
chromosomes through mating schemes.
