Segregation of karyotypes and morphological traits in the hybrid zone between two chromosome races. Positions of karyotypes reflect their morphological state: individuals of pure parental type (P1 and P2) with the most pronounced morphological differences occupy rightmost and leftmost positions, F1 – intermediate between P1 and P2 and the first-generation backcrosses – intermediate between F1 and respective parents (B1P1 and B1P2). The second-generation backcrosses (B2) contain karyotypes that do not correspond to the expected morphotypes (marked with squared frames). Round frames mark karyotypically indistinguishable parents, F1 and B1 (see text for details).
