Dominant lethal mutations are due to chromosome aberrations as demonstrated by analysis of first cleavage. With a sample size of 40-45 mice per dose the induction of dominant lethal mutations by 10 mg/kg of methyl methanesulfonat (MMS) can be detected in spermatids in the mating interval 9-12 days p

β¦ Synopsis
Using the dominant lethal assay, the ability of fosfestrol, a diethylstilboestrol derivate, to induce mutations in male mice was tested and confirmed. Up to 300 mg/kg of fosfestrol the induction of mutations occurs exclusively in spermatozoa. A dose of 600 mg/kg of fosfestrol induces dominant lethal mutations up to 10 days posttreatment. The majority of induced dominant lethal mutations in all dose groups are expressed as loss after implantation.

Calcium cyclamate, an artificial sweetener, was studied for its effectiveness in inducing transmissible chromosomal aberrations in germ cells of male mice. Both the dominant-lethal and the heritable translocation tests were carried out following daily treatment (on weekdays) of males by oral intubat
## Abstract When male axolotls (__Ambystoma mexicanum__) were treated with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and mated at regular intervals thereafter, the incidence of embryonic abnormalities among the F~1~ progeny increased until a time was reached when none survived to hatching. At 100 mg/1 EMS, this
