Abstract
AdultDrosophilamales were injected with chloroethyl methanesulphonate and late progeny, tracing back to treated spermatogonia, were examined for sex-linked lethals and for translocations involving the X, Y, second and third chromosomes. A dose yielding about 20% sex-linked lethals produced 11 translocations in about 3500 tested chromosome sets (approx. 0·3%). This result is discussed in relation to the problem of chromosome rearrangements in different germ-cell stages.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
