Mechanisms of nondisjunction induction in drosophila oocytes

B Leigh. Environ Health Perspect. 1979 Aug.

Abstract

Quantitative and qualitative studies on the induction of no-disjunction and related phenomena can be carried out using the germ cells of Drosophila. X-Irradiation breaks chromosomes and cold-shock disrupts spindles, these two treatments producing different spectra of nondisjunction in oocytes.
