| Popis: | Male mice were exposed to 200 rads of x rays (acute whole body exposures) for 20 consecutive generations. Comparative studies were done on breeding characteristics of offspring from 10 and 15 generations of irradinted males. Irradiated line mice were less efficient breeders than were control line mice, and the decrement increased with the number of generations irradiated. Female mice from 10 to 20 generations of irradiated males were studied for resistance to low intensity gamma -rays and were found to be less resistant than control line mice. It was concluded that x irradiation to consecutive generations of male mice produces a genetic decrement affecting both breeding and efficiency and stamina. (auth) |
