Abstract
The intrachromatidal distributions of achromatic lesions (AL) and chromatid breaks (B′) on 10 sections of equal length of the chromatids from the centromere to the distal end are investigated. Formally they can be described by Poisson-distributions. The maximum of the frequencies of AL and B′ is located in the distal half of the chromatids. The distributions are interpreted with restitutional action.
