| Method |
Mutation accumulation studies. Three large homozygous control populations were maintained. Egg-to-adult viability of 72 nonlethal mutation-accumulation (MA) lines and the controls was assayed after 27-33 generations of mutation accumulation. |
| Comments |
The effect of mutations is measured in homozygotes |
