Single strand break normally occur with high LET radiation.

A loss or change in a nitrogenous base on sugar phosphate chains may not be reversible and cause mutation.

Double strand break occur with high LET radiation.

Chromosome aberrations happen when irradiation occurs after DNA synthesis takes place.

In chromatid aberrations, only one chromatid of a pair suffer radiation induced-break.

In chromosome aberrations, both chromatid exhibit the break.

The effect that occurs when a tissue is irradiated with an x-ray with dose, 1000 Gy in second @ a few minutes is known as

Exposing a cell to as little as 0.01 Gy of IR just before it begins cell division can cause

Radiation may retard the mitotic process or permanently inhibit the mitotic process. This situation cause

Deterministic effects also known as nonstochastic effects.

Stochastic effect occurs only above a certain threshold dose and clinically observable.

____________ cause cell death, reduction in number of cells

and also reduction in tissue function.

The radiation effects that can occurs at any dose level is known as

In ____________, cells were not died but they were modified or affected.
