โœฆ Synopsis

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 fecondation of eggs, in embryos heterozygous for a magnified bobbed locus and a bb+ or bb locus. This phenomenon of modification is consistent with the model proposed by Ritossa (1972) to account for the phenomenom of magnification.

This is a detailed study of the reversions of the ctMR2 allele putatively carrying รก mobile element (MR-transposon) in the cut locus. Stable, unstable and superunstable revertants have been identified. Besides, a series of multiple unstable visible and lethal ct mutations derived from the ctMR2 alle

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.
