Abstract
An intercalary mirror-imaged duplication ("reversed repeat") in the left limb of the 3d chromosome of D. melanogaster was found in the salivary glands of an F1 larval [female] descended from an irradiated father. Origin of the duplication is attributed to fusion at identical loci of the broken ends of 2 sister chromatids of the paternal 3d chromosome.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
