Abstract excerpt
The phenomenology of genomic destabilization is described in Drosophila melanogaster mutants containing radiation-induced conditional dominant lethals in the X chromosome and in autosome 2. Destabilization manifests itself as (1) the loss or decrease of lethality of previously lethal mutations; (2) the loss of expression of visible dominant mutations in an opposite homolog; (3) chromosomal instability resulting...
