Induced nondisjunction in drosophila oocytes

B Leigh. Mutat Res. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

Nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes and compound-second chromosomes was induced in Drosophila melanogaster by irradiation of immature oocytes and cold treatment of mature oocytes. These two treatments cause nondisjunction by different mechanisms. This results in a differential for stage sensitivity and the production of relatively different frequencies of the various exceptional progeny classes.
