Abstract
The distribution of chromosomal aberrations between and within chromosomes of male D, melanogaster somatic cells after treatment with UV has been analyzed. -- Distribution of the breaks between chromosomes was largely nonrandom since we found a higher aberration frequency than that expected on the Y chromosome. Moreover, within the chromosomes the aberrations are clustered in the pericentromeric heterochromatic regions. The above distribution is compared with that of the breaks induced by X rays and methyl-methane-sulphonate (MMS) which were distributed in a different pattern.Entities:
