Abstract excerpt

Muller-5 males of Drosophila melanogaster were irradiated in N2 or O2 and mated to excision repair deficient, post-replication repair deficient (mei-9a, mei-41D5, mus101D1, mus201D1, mus302D1, mus306D1 and mus308D2) or repair proficient females. The surviving fraction (dominant lethality) was est...
