RESUMO

Split-dose experiments were done on maturing dictyate oocytes to determine if the magnitude of the first dose influenced the "rejoining time" of radiation-induced chromosomal lesions. A total dose of 400r was split into various combinations with varying fractionation intervals. The data derived from analyzing interchanges indicate that there is no difference in the rejoining time whether the first dose was 100, 200, or 300r. It thus appears that the radiation dose in the ranges studied does not significantly alter the rate of repair of the chromosomal lesions. This conclusion is contrary to that which has been propounded to explain the nonlinear dose curves obtained for specific locus mutations.
