Abstract:HE great majority of experiments with Drosophila on radiation T induced mutations centers about questions of lethal mutations.Several investigations are, however, also made on mutations with less drastic effects, and it seems as if, during the last decade, the interest has switched over to mutations of this kind. The present investigation deals with different questions concerning x-ray induced subvitals in the second chromosome of D. melanogaster. The frequency of such mutations are considered and the comparis… Show more
