Chromosome breakage: a possible mechanism for diverse genetic events in outbred populations
Abstract
Evidence is summarised to support the hypothesis that genetic characteristics frequently assayed in natural populations, including mutator activity, sterility, male recombination, and distortion of segregation, may often be expressions of the same general event--chromosome breakage in outbred populations.
