By feeding a hen repeated daily doses of sodium dihydrogen phosphate of equal P32 activity, eggs with high and nearly uniform P32 content were obtained for use in hatching experiments. Eleven eggs were incubated. The embryos and chicks that died during or after incubation were dissected and analyzed for total and specific activities in the various fractions. Two of the chicks, both females, are still living. They are being raised so that observations may be made on their ability to reproduce and the effect of the radioactivity, if any, on their offspring. |
