Inheritance Pattern of RAPD Markers in Melipona quadrifasciata (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Meliponinae) [PDF]
Melipona quadrifasciata is an important pollinator agent in several regions of Brazil. Data concerning the genetics of this species are scarce in the literature. In this work we used the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique to determine the degree of polymorphism and the inheritance pattern of these molecular markers in this species.
