Abstract excerpt
A comparative study of the incidence of genetic damages induced in mouse male germ cells by a single injection of 137Cs and external gamma-irradiation shows that the incidence of dominant lethal mutations in the postmeiotic cells is similar with both radiation types. The frequency of reciprocal translocations in stem cell spermatogonia was considerably lower with 137Cs than with external gamma-irradiation which...
