Effect of High Doses of γ-Radiation on the Development of Embryos of Cyclops insignis (Copepoda, Crustacea)
摘要
Abstract
The results of the experiment have shown that the embryos of Cyclops insignis Claus, 1857 (Copepoda, Crustacea) exposed to γ-radiation at doses of 50 and 100 Gy at the 1-, 2-, and 4-cell stages develop to the 4–16-cell stage. It is assumed that high doses of radiation lead to an inactivation of the nuclear genome and the embryos develop to 8–16-cell stages based on cytoplasmic determinants.
