That treatment with ionizing radiation will produce chromosomal rearrangements has been recognized ever since the classical study in Drosophila by Muller and Altenberg (1928). Studies in which treatments with ultraviolet irradiation and X-ray irradiation have been compared for the production of translocations have shown that ultraviolet irradiation produces fewer translocations than x-ray irradiation (Stadler and Sprague 1937; Stadler 1941; Emmerling 1955). In the micro-organism Aspergillus nidulans, a high frequency of chromosomal rearrangements (translocations) was round to be induced by gamma-irradiation (Tector 1961).
