Abstract:
:The change in frequencies of D. melanogaster and D. simulans in competition experiments was used to measure the effect of radiation on the fitness of a population. A dose of 250 or 500 rads given to the males of highly inbred lines of D. simulans at the beginning of competition and every three weeks thereafter increased the relative frequency of the irradiated population. If the dose was increased to 1000 rads, the deleterious effects of radiation became too great a burden on the population, and the frequency of the irradiated population decreased. From these results it was concluded that below certain doses the introduction of radiation-induced mutations into a highly homozygous population would increase the fitness of the population.
