Cultures of yeast progressing from the exponential to the stationary phase of growth show increased resistance to the lethal effects of the chemical mutagens nitrous acid, ethyl methane sulphonate and mitomycin C and increased sensitivity to the lethal effects of UV light. Induced mitotic intragenic
