Study Notes
Chromosomal Aberrations
- These aberrations do not allow for equal distribution of genetic material in new cells.
- They can involve changes such as centric fusions and large chromosomal deletions.
Radiation Effects
- The frequency of chromosomal aberrations correlates well with the cytotoxic effects of radiation in many cases.
- Radiation interacts with water, which makes up most of the cell's volume, leading to a higher probability of radiation interaction.
Radiation Interaction with Water
- Water can form toxic substances, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), when interacting with radiation.
- These toxic substances can contribute to cell destruction.
Direct and Indirect Radiation Effects
- Direct action: radiation directly causes DNA damage.
- Indirect action: radiation leads to the formation of free radicals, which then cause DNA damage.
Consequences of Radiation Exposure
- DNA damage can lead to cell death.
- Free radicals can cause DNA damage, leading to cell death.
