Abstract

Acute exposure to gaseous 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) caused sex-linked recessive lethal mutations in Drosophila melanogaster males. Brood pattern analysis showed that spermatids and spermatocytes were more sensitive to the lethal-mutation induction by DBCP than were spermatogonia. The mutation induction was not observed in the stage of spermatozoa.
