Strains of Drosophila melanogaster can be divided into two main classes, inducer and reactive, in relation to non-Mendelian female sterility. The genetic element responsible for the inducer condition (I factor) is chromosomal and may be linked to any inducer-strain chromosome. Each chromosome carrying the I factor (i  + chromosome) can produce females showing more-or-less reduced fertility when it is introduced by paternal gametes into a reactive oocyte. As long as i+ chromosomes are transmitted through heterozygous males with reactive originating chromosomes (r chromosomes), I factor strictly follows Mendelian segregation. In contrast, in heterozygous i+/r females, a varying proportion of r chromosomes may acquire I factor independently of classical genetic recombination, by a process called chromosomal contamination. This paper reports investigation of the characteristics of the three kinds of chromosomes produced by females in which contamination occurs. It appears that the contaminated reactive chromosomes have irreversibly acquired I factor and behave like i  + chromosomes, while the i  + chromosomes used as contaminating elements and the reactive originating chromosomes that have not been contaminated have not undergone any change.
