Abstract excerpt
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 the f mutants described thus far, all of which are associated with the insertion of mobile DNA elements, f3N is...
