Studies on mutagen sensitive strains of Drosophila melanogaster. XI. Survival (dominant lethality) after X-irradiation and relation to recessive lethals and translocations.

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 estimated in the F1 and used to reassess existing recessive lethal and translocation data. The surviving fraction was...
