THE EFFECT OF MATERNAL AGE AND RADIATION ON THE RATE OF NON-DISJUNCTION IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

· Canadian Journal of Genetics and Cytology
The effects of maternal age and radiation on the rate of non-disjunction of X chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster aged from one to 29 days before mating was studied. In the absence of radiation there was no detectable effect of maternal age on the frequency of XO and XXY progeny in Drosophila melanogaster. With irradiation, however, there was, in addition to an overall increase, a significant effect of maternal age. Females who were older at the time of irradiation produced more exceptional progeny, in agreement with previous results. (P.C.H.)
