Germ cells of spermatogenesis of D. melanogaster were treated with 600 r of x rays. The sensitivity spectrum for recessive sex-linked lethals, obtained by crossing the treated males for l2 successive days, shows a maximum in days 5 to 7, corresponding to treated spermatids; this confirms data already known. Anoxia lowers the sensitivity throughout the whole spectrum, particularly for spermatids; O/sub 2/ treatment increases x-ray damage, although not uniformly in the different stages of spermatogenesis: the less sensitive cells under these circumstances are spermatids and spermatogonia.
