| Description | Animals respond to the chemical mutagen methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) a methanesulfonate ester and alkylating agent at a lower concentration or a shorter exposure compared to control animals. In C. elegans, increased sensitivity to MMS can be observed as a decrease in egg hatch upon acute exposure or inhibition of growth after chronic exposure compared to control animals given the same treatment. |
