Abstract | ||||
The genotoxic effects of chlorpyrifos and quercetin either single or combined were tested in terms of their ability to induce reverse mutation, gene conversion and mitotic crossing over in Saccharomyces cereviciae D7. The results indicated that all single and combined treatments induced reverse mutation, gene conversion and mitotic crossing over in Saccharomyces cereviciae D7. Combined treatment was more effective than the single treatment of quercetin. The insecticide (chlorpyrifos and quercetin which are common flavonoids) proved to be mutageneic in Saccharomyces cereviciae. | ||||
