Abstract excerpt
The white-ivory somatic mutation test of Drosophila melanogaster is based on the reversion of the X-linked eye colour recessive mutation white-ivory to wild-type. Although the exact mechanism of white-ivory reversion is not quite understood, it has been suggested that such reversion, both in soma...
