Gene mutations at the molecular level - Table 7.1a-- Table 7.1b
Linear Relation betweeen X-ray dose and percentage of sex-linked mutations in Drosophila melanogaster
Forward Mutation Rates in Neurospora crassa
Pairing between the normal (keto) forms of the bases
Mismatches due to rare tautomeric form of bases pairing
Mutations arising from tautomeric shifts during DNA replication
Mutations due to base analogues- These data are typical of those from Art Kornberg's studies on replication.
Chemical alterations of the DNA create mutations --
The Fluctuation Test
Are mutations random?
or Do mutations arise during periods of selection?
