Abstract:
Cells distribution by the number of chromatid exchanges induced by mitomycin C corresponds to geometric distribution. The dependences of the number of chromatid exchanges and the number of fragments on the dose of the mutagen are described by exponential and linear curves, respectively. Quantitative regularities of mitomycin C-induced chromosome aberrations correspond to those of "monocentric" mutagens.
