How to determine recessive-lethal mutation rates. David D. Perkins Background
... Recessive lethal mutations provide an objective measure of mutation rate. Development of a method for measuring the frequency of recessive lethals in the X chromosome of Drosophila made it possible for H. J. Muller (1927) to demonstrate that X rays are mutagenic, a finding which led to the Nobel Pri ...

Point mutation
A point mutation, or single base modification, is a type of mutation that causes a single nucleotide base change, insertion, or deletion of the genetic material, DNA or RNA. The term frameshift mutation indicates the addition or deletion of a base pair. A point mutant is an individual that is affected by a point mutation.Repeat induced point mutations are recurring point mutations, discussed below.
