A PRELIMINARY GENETIC INVESTIGATION OF VOLVOX CARTERI

1 Department of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22901

A preliminary genetic analysis of a number of genetic variants of Volvox carteri f. nagariensis is presented. Techniques are outlined for mutagenesis of Volvox, isolation of mutants and routine genetic analysis. All of the mutants show simple Mendelian segregation patterns and have been tentatively placed in 14 linkage groups.
