Abstract
C14-labeled adenine, guanine and cytosine, and tritiated thymidine were incorporated into the deoxyribonucleic acid of salmon milts, either by injection into the milts of live fish or into excised milts. The amount incorporated was very small. Under the experimental conditions radioactive nucleosides, deoxyuridine, adenosine 5[image]-mono- and tri-phosphates, orotic acid, uracil, ribose 1-phosphate, and ribose 5-phosphate were not incorporated. It is suggested that these results may be due to the comparative impermeability of the cells to the various compounds.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
