1. Linear relationship between the dose of ionizing radiation and, from top to bottom, the extent of DNA degradation and the delay in DNA synthesis.
Linear relationship between the dose of ionizing radiation and, from top to bottom, the extent of DNA degradation and the delay in DNA synthesis. The delay in DNA synthesis is linearly correlated with a dose of up to 4 kGy, above which it reaches a plateau.
