The antitumor agent cisplatin and progesterone separate joint action on content of total phospholipids their individual fractions in nuclei from rat thymus cells were investigated. When used separately, exhibit its own distinctive properties. Cisplatin reduces, progesterone, the contrary, increases phospholipids. together, effects these drugs are summed up. Thus phospholipid cell by 17% after i...

Three elements, M1, M2 and M3, found in a special X chromosome, supp-X(SD), modify the degree and direction of segregation distortion in the SD system of Drosophila melanogaster. The first element, M1, is located between the y and the cv loci, probably close to the y locus. The second element, M2, is located near the cv locus and the third element, M3, is located between the y and the car loci....
