We prove that twisting any quasi-alternating link LL with no gaps in its Jones polynomial VL(t)V_L(t) at the crossing where it is quasi-alternating produces a link LL^{*} with no gaps in its Jones polynomial VL(t)V_{L^*}(t). This leads us to conjecture that the Jones polynomial of any prime quasi-alternating link, other th…
