The temperature effect on segregation distortion: ERICKSON (1 965) described a temperature effect on the SD system. This approach was extended by MANGE (1968), who noted an effect on recovery from various SD lines of both high (30°C) and low (19OC) temperature treatments. She utilized SD-72 as well as “original-SD” chromosomes and recombinant derivatives from a wild population collected in Baja California. Heat shock resulted in a lowering of k in the Baja recombinant lines, but had no effect on SD-72. Treatment at 19°C caused a decrease in distortion, of varying magnitude, in all SD lines examined. From brooding experiments she concluded that meiosis is the time of SD temperature sensitivity. Her results vary, then, from the work presented above in which cold shock causes a decrease in second chromosome distortion for SD-72, but an increase for R(SD-S&)-I. of Genetics, University of for his generous contributions of SD stocks and helpful discussions. The are SD. SD+ present study examines the relationship between k (the frequency with which a heterozygous male transmits SD to his progeny) and sex ratio in the progeny of SD-72/cn bzn and of R(SD-36)-i/cn bw males. The sex ratio (pro-portion of males) of progeny receiving the SD+ paternal chromosome (desig-nated the cn bw sex ratio) varies proportionally with the value of k among males of each line, while the sex ratio of progeny receiving the SD paternal chromosome (designated the SD sex ratio) is independent of k. This result is supported by an aging experiment with the SD-72 line and by temperature shock experi-SD
