title: [The nature of spontaneous and induced mutagenesis in a genetically unstable mutator strain of Drosophila melanogaster].
abstract: The spontaneous and induced frequencies of visible mutations by N-nitroso-N-ethylurea in male cells of Drosophila melanogaster genetically unstable mutator strain have been investigated. The spontaneous and induced by N-nitroso-N-ethylurea genetic instability in mutator strain have similar manifestation, that evidently testifies the existence of general mechanisms of the appearance of unstable mutations, namely the transpositions of the mobile genetic elements.
