Abstract
A discussion of the effect of radiation in inducing changes both in gross morphology of chromosomes and of the nature of point mutations. The latter differ in no discoverable way from those which appear spontaneously and include cases of reverse mutation. Radiation present in nature must produce some natural mutations but quantitative comparisons indicate that no more than one thousandth of the natural rate can thus be accounted for.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
