Some Effects of 6-Azauridine on Two Mutant Genes in the Mouse.

Certain instances of abnormal development may be due to genotype alone or to environment alone. In all likelihood, however, most abnormal development results from an interaction of genotype and environment (Fraser, ’59). The influence of genotype on response to environmental stimuli has been investigated in Drosophila (Goldschmidt and Piternick, ’57), fowl (Landauer, ’48, ’60, ’65), and mammals (Dagg, ’66). Different strains of the same species often show varied developmental responses to the same stimulus, presumably due to polygenic differences between strains (Dagg, ’63; Dagg, Schlager and Doer, ’65; Landauer, *60). Also, single gene differences within a strain may alter the response of a developing organism to environment (Goldschmidt and Piternick, ’57; Landauer, ’60, ’65; Smithberg, ’67).
