| PubMed Abstract |
One thousand lines of a balanced lethal strain of Drosophila melanogaster heterozygous at seven allozyme loci were subjected
to chronic (0.15 rad/min) gamma-irradiation (137Cs). After 15 generations of exposure they were screened by gel electrophoresis
for newly arisen null mutants and/or mobility variants. Seven independent nulls were recovered. 1) None were associated with
a cytogenetically detectable aberration; 2) one of six analyzed was associated with recessive lethality, suggesting association
with a submicroscopic interlocus deficiency; 3) three of five which could be analyzed for cross-reacting material (CRM) production
were CRM-positive; and 4) two of six produced an active heterodimer with an active normal allele. The results taken together
suggest that most of the mutations are point mutations rather than small deficiencies.
