MUTATION RATES AT LOW LEVEL IRRADIATION IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER. (A Preliminary Report)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4807777
Preliminary results of studies in Drosophila melanogaster led to the conclusion that there is a linear relation between mutation rates and radiation dose down to 8 r. Sexlinked recessive lethal mutations were used as indicators of mutation induction. No evidence was seen of a threshold dose in genetic effect for doses of x radiation down to 8 r. (C.H.)
