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 biphasic frequency curve can arise in two distinct, but non-mutually exclusive, ways: (i) as a result of the existence of...
