A case of genetic complementafon was analysed by the utilization ot two different homozygotic recessive strains of Drosophila meianogaster, mutant for the eye color character. The studied mutations, namtd maroon-Uke^ and white-coffee, produce individuais respectively with rtd-violet and dark carmine eyes, so differentiating them from the wild type with dark rtd bright eyes. Heterozygotic individuais for the ir TRANS exhibited the wild phenotype, which offered an evidence of the ocurrem e of intercistronic genetic complementation.
