Popis: The insecticide/ascaricide dinitro-ortho-cresol (DNOC) was tested for mutagenicity in BASC or Muller-5 test with Drosophila melanogaster. The frequencies of induced sexlinked recessive lethals in premeiotic and postmeiotic germ cell stages of spermatogenesis were determined after exposure of adult wild-type males by oral application of DNOC. Sex-linked recessive lethals were scored in the F2 generation according to standard procedures.
