Newly magnified bobbed loci, combined with bb+ or bb loci, are in certain cases unstable. This may lead either to a reversion to the original bobbed mutation, or to lethal bobbed mutation. We name this instability "modification". Modification occurs very early during the first divisions following fe
Unstable mutations were generated at the cut locus by the MR-hl2 factor which induces male recombination. The unstable allele ct MR2, containing the MR-transposon in the cut locus is a very powerful mutator producing a number of different viable and lethal mutations both in the cut locus and outside
The rudimentary (r) locus of Drosophila melanogaster encodes the first three enzymes for the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines: carbamyl phosphate synthase (CPSase), aspartyl transcarbamylase (ATCase), and dihydroorotase (DHOase). Revertants of leaky r mutants deficient in CPSase have been recovered.
