[Chromosome modifications induced in mouse spermatogonia through exposure to high-energy neutrons].
The incidence of reciprocal translocations induced in mouse spermatogonia has been studied in CBA mice given X-ray or neutron exposure. Analysis of dividing spermatocytes at diakinesis-first metaphase stage of meiosis shows that in X-irradiated mice there is a linear dose-response relationship. After exposure to fast neutrons the yield of translocations follows a humped curve with a maximum of chromosome exchanges after exposure to 100 rad.
