The effects of heterozygous inversions and of the C(3)G mutation on recombination between alleles of the rudimentary locus of Drosophila melanogaster were analysed. It is shown that the presence of either of these genetic alterations significantly changes the frequency and type of intragenic recombinants which are produced.
