Abstract
Among the germinal mutations induced in mice following the subcutaneous injection of methylcholanthrene for many generations is hereditary dwarfism. This condition is inherited as a recessive. The relation of this mutation to the general problem of parallel induction is briefly indicated. Thus it is becoming more obvious that both non-genetic and genetic biological variants are being produced in mice by methylcholanthrene.Keywords
