Abstract
IN Drosophila melanogaster, much information has been collected on chromosome mutations analysed by genetic methods, but there has so far been no cytological analysis of the chromosome mutations induced in somatic cells. By irradiating cells of D. melanogaster, in which we knew that somatic pairing was present, we have also wished to extend our previous studies1, carried out on endoreduplicated Chinese hamster cells, to verify the influence of chromosome pairing on the type and frequency of induced chromosome aberrations.
