Notes:
This investigation critically examines the genetic effects of sorbitol in Drosophila melanogaster. Tests for the induction of somatic mutations, sex-linked recessive lethals, and chromosome loss paralleled by appropriate positive and negative controls were performed. In all experiments, sorbitol proved to be nonmutagenic. In fact, the frequencies of exceptions in sorbitol-treated flies proved to be less than that in untreated controls.
