Among the numerous X chromosome-linked forked bristle (f) mutations described in Drosophila melanogaster, one designated f3N exhibits the unusual property of reverting spontaneously to wild type at an inordinate frequency, a frequency that can be increased with x-ray irradiation. In contrast to t...
