Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate of production of chromosome aberrations is determined by the total radiation dose given to a cell (whether somatic or genetic) and the period of time in which the radiation dose was delivered. Both the magnitude of the dose and the rate at which it is administered can influence the extent of damage to the chromosomes.
