DEPENDENCE OF RADIATION INDUCED MUTATION RATE ON MATURITY AND DOSE FOR CHRYSALIS OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER MEIGEN

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:4686621
The dependence of the rate of radiation-induced recessive sex-linked lethal factors and II- III translocations on dose and maturity of germ cells of 174-hr old chrysalis are studied. For the translocation curves, an exponent of approximately 1.5 was observed. Dose curves for lethal factor have an exponent smaller than unity. This can be explained by assuming that for increasing dose a larger fraction of lethal factors for which at last two events are necessary is produced, (Gmelin Inst.)
