Abstract excerpt

Mutation frequency curves for ultraviolet light and other mutagens often exhibit non-linear, as well as linear components. A common pattern observed for UV-induced reversion of auxotrophy in yeast is a biphasic, linear-quadratic (or higher order) response. The non-linear component in such a bipha...
