INDUCED MUTATION RATES IN SPERM TRANSMITTED TO SONS AND DAUGHTERS IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

OSTI ID:4666336
Irradiated second chromosomes in wild-type Drosophila melanogaster males were scored for induced lethal frequencies when transmitted to male and female progeny. No difference was observed between these two groups, and it has been concluded that the sex of the zygote which receives the irradiated chromosome does not influence the frequency of lethal mutations recovered.
