Abstract
THE chromosomes of Mus musculus have a high chiasma frequency1, and for this reason very loose linkages are to be expected. Many of the problems of linkage and independence in this species may therefore have to be solved by cytogenetic methods rather than the breeding techniques of formal genetics.
