Abstract
Clonal age is a significant variable in the per-cent survival of Paramecium exposed to different doses of ultraviolet irradiation. Within given age limits the ultraviolet damage is reversible by photoreactivation. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that aging in Paramecium is correlated with the inability of the cells to repair genetic damage.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
