Abstract
Summary Life span studies on first generation male and female breeders and on second generation virgin females from 20 generations of X-irradiated sires were done. The results of this and other studies strongly suggest that factual statements crediting reduction of life span as being a measure of a radiation-induced genetic decrement in viability are premature and inconsistent with experimental evidence at this date.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
