The usefulness of classical genetical techniques in resolving complex experimental sigmoidal inactivation curves is demonstrated in 3 examples: haploid- diploid, relation of ploidy to radiosensitivity, and inactivation of multispore asci. The studies show that these complex curves are useful in radiobiology where different components of lethality can be discriminated by genetical or cytological techniques. (T.R.H.)
