Abstract
The mutation rate at seven specific loci was measured among the offspring of male and female mice exposed as 17½-day-old foetuses to 200 r. X-rays. In the female series the mutation rate was lower, by a factor of about four, than the comparable adult rate; in the male series the mutation rate was lower but not statistically significantly lower than in adults.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
