[The passive transfer by Drosophila spermatozoa of exogenous DNA molecules or synthetic polynucleotides into fertilizable eggs].
Experiments on mutation induction in Drosophila melanogaster by injections of exogenous DNAs or a synthetic polyribonucleotide solutions into the hemolymph of the male demonstrated that Drosophila spermatozoa were able to transfer passively molecules of these mutagens into fertilized eggs. This induced mutations in both paternal and maternal chromosomes in offspring.
