Germ cells of spermatogenesis of D. melanogaster were treated with 600 r x rays. The sensitivity spectrum for recessive sex-linked lethals, obtained by crossing the treated males for 12 successive days, showed a maximum in days 5-7, corresponding to treated spermatids. Anoxia lowered the sensitivity throughout the whole spectrum, particularly for spermatids; O/sub 2/ treatment increased x ray damage, although not uniformly in the different stages of spermatogenesis: the less sensitive cells under the circumstances were spermatids and spermatogonia.
