Meiosis in T. erectum after Radiation Exposure


Color-enhanced micrograph of cells of Trillium erectum in division (meiotic first anaphase). The cells were exposed to an acute dose of 50 R of X-rays at early prophase. The three cells at the top and center show no signs of chromosome damage. The other cells contain bridges between chromosomes and fragments of chromosomes. Magnification unknown. This image has been color-enhanced.
