Abstract
Adult Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies ranging in age from 2 to 7.5 weeks with a median colony survival time of 6.4 weeks at 25°C showed no increase in DNA crosslinking with age. The purified denatured DNA used for crosslink determinations varied in molecular weight from 2.02 to 3.84 × 105 daltons and was crosslinked to the extent of 6.2–8.8% with no age-related trend.Keywords
