Induction of delayed mutations by benzene and ethylene dibromide in Drosophila.
Environmental and molecular mutagenesis - 1 Jan 1995
Kale P, Kale R
Abstract excerpt
Two carcinogens, ethylene dibromide and benzene, were used to induce delayed (germinal mosaic) sex-linked recessive lethal mutations in spermatozoa and spermatids of adult Drosophila males. Significant numbers of delayed mutations (in F3) were scored in absence of conventional (in F2) mutations....
