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. A large proportion of nonlethal F2 cultures carried delayed mutations, so much so that, in some cultures, all F2...
