Genetic effects of benzene in Drosophila melanogaster males
Journal Article

· Environ. Mutagen.; (United States)
Benzene is one of the few chemicals which induces chromosomal aberrations but does not induce point mutations. The most sensitive end point in Drosophila, sex-linked recessive lethal mutations, however, has not yet been studied. Information on induction of heritable translocations and crossing-over is also not yet available for this compound in Drosophila. Experiments were therefore undertaken to investigate benzene induced sex-linked recessive lethal mutations, heritable translocations, and crossing-over in Drosophila males.
