Abstract

Mutants of the free living nematode C. elegans were isolated by using 32P as a mutagen. It is shown that most of these mutants arise from 32P suicide. A comparison of EMS-induced and 32P-induced autosomal recesive mutations shows that there are no large regions of C. elegans genome which are protected from chemical mutagenic action of EMS.
