Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: ambiguous
Executive summary:
16 mg Triel / L caused interference with meiotic nuclear division (chromosone segregation) in the offspring of female larvae of Drosophila melanogaster. The sex chromosomes were particularly affected, so that gametes with two X chromosomes (XXY individuals) occurred, while the distribution of the autosomes was not affected. From this it was deduced that TriEL has an effect on the spindle mechanism in the chromosome distribution to the daughter cells
