Abstract
An investigation was made of the effects of monochromatic 14-Mev fast neutrons and Co/sup 60/ gamma rays on the induction of dominant lethals and of 14- Mev neutrons on the production of sex-linked recessive lethals in Drosophila. These results were compared with those of other reports from this laboratory, In which radiations of different average LET were used. It was shown that the RBE of different radiations for the induction of both genetic effects studied is dependent on the LET of the radiation used. 34 references. (auth)
