Summary
The rate of sex-linked recessive lethals as well as of translocations between 2nd and 3rd chromosome was determined in a multipurpose strain ofDrosophila melanogaster after intraperitoneal injection of 5-ethyl-2′-deoxyuridine. No mutations, however, were observed after that treatment. These findings confirm the results of other investigators with T-2-phages and are in good agreement with theoretical considerations.
