## Abstract In order to gain a better understanding of how a defect in pyrimidine biosynthesis leads to the specific set of morphological aberrations seen in __Drosophila__ bearing the mutant allele of __rudimentary__, we made the following measurements of enzyme activity in wild type flies: (1) du
