Abstract
The frequency of recessive sex-linked lethal mutations (RSLLM) induced in chromosome Muller-5 of mature sperms by treatment with etylenimine (EI) or methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) was shown to increase when male pronucleus or zygote was formed in the oocyte cytoplasm of the mutage n-sensitive line mus(2)201(G1). The increase in the total number of mu tations in the mutant cytoplasm was accompanied by a transformation of damages causing mosaic mutations into damage to the genome, which are recorded as complete mutations.
