Abstract

Eggs from reciprocal crosses of T(3;12)/3;12 in Blattella germanica, which were arrested early in development, all showed gross defects. They were grouped into three types corresponding in frequency to that expected from fertilization by three of the four df/dp gametes resulting from adjacent chromosome disjunction in T(3;12)/3;12 males. A later egg lethal (stage VII) corresponded in frequency to the fourth gamete. An earlier lethality was associated with paternally derived genetic unbalance, especially in one egg type. It is suggested that the genetic complement of the male pronucleus affects some early process(es), and also that the zygotic genome of B. germanica may act earlier in the control of development than is the case in holometabolous insects.
