RESUMO
By combining ten second and ten third chromosomes, we investigated chromosomal interaction with respect to the action of the modifier factors on G6PD and 6PGD activities in Drosophila melanogaster. Analysis of variance revealed that highly significant chromosomal interaction exists for both enzyme activities. From the estimated variance components, it was concluded that the variation in enzyme activity attributed to the interaction is as great as the variation attributed to the second chromosome but less than attributed to the third chromosome. The interaction is not explained by the variation of body size (live weight). The interaction is generated from both the lack of correlation of second chromosomes for third chromosome backgrounds and the heterogeneous variance of second chromosomes for different third chromosome backgrounds. Large and constant correlation between G6PD and 6PGD activities were found for third chromosomes with any second chromosome background, whereas the correlations for second chromosomes were much smaller and varied considerably with the third chromosome background. This result suggests that the activity modifiers on the second chromosome are under the influence of third chromosome factors.
