Abstract excerpt
The influence of mitomycin C on the genetic stability of Drosophila laboratory lines was investigated. This mutagen caused one-locus and multi-loci mutations with high frequencies (approximately 10(-2), 10(-3)) in the first and the second generations. It is locus-specific mutagenesis. In situ hybridization experiments indicated the existence of primary and new sites of location of mobile genetic elements mdg 1,...
