Abstract: | Summary In a wild population ofDrosophila melanogaster located near Madrid (Spain), it has been found that the frequency of morphological mutant phenotypes is 0.36 per captured female. The study of these females shows that they carry 3.6 recessive mutants in heterozygous condition per female. The genetic variability found is higher than the frequencies observed by other authors in other natural populations.I thank Dr F.J.
