RADIATION INDUCED VIABILITY MUTATIONS IN THE HONEY BEE. Progress Report for 1961 and Renewal Proposal of Contract for 1962
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4814966
The spectrum of viability mutations ranging from dominant lethals to detrimentals in haploids that resulted from irradiating semen from a single haploid male was studied in the honey bee. From the decrease in viability of diploid progeny following irradiation of the spermatheca of the parental queen, it was calculated that one or more dominant lethals were induced in 60.8% of the sperm cells. In a separate test using the same dosage on an unrelated queen 60.9% dominant lethals were found. Recessive mutations and mutants with incomplete dominance were detected in haploid progeny of F-1 queens. (M.C.G.)
