The uses of experimental chimeras to transmit lethal genes are discussed. As an example, the X‐linked lethal mutation jp was genetically transmitted by a chimeric male. This male produced abnormal offspring when bred to jpl + and msd/ + females. Thus, allelism of the mutations jp and msd is proven and the symbol for msd should be changed to jp msd .
