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.
