Summary:A new approach to the mapping of polygenes, based on "hitch-hiking" of polygene-linked mobile elements (molecular markers) among chromosomes is proposed. Segments of the Drosophila melanogaster chromosome 2 determining elevated adaptability were identified using the retrotransposons MDGl and copia as markers. A comparison of closely related lines showed that the juxtacentromeric region of chromosome 2 plays an important role in determining different levels of adaptability
