Abstract excerpt

The spontaneous and induced frequencies of visible mutations by N-nitroso-N-ethylurea in male cells of Drosophila melanogaster genetically unstable mutator strain have been investigated. The spontaneous and induced by N-nitroso-N-ethylurea genetic instability in mutator strain have similar manife...
