8
effects of fetal radiation
1. prenatal death
2. neonatal death
3. congenital malformation
4. childhood malignancy
5. diminished growth and development
9
if the radiation response increases in severity with increasing radiation dose, it is called __ and occurs within days after the radiation exposure
deterministic effect
10
if the incidence of the radiation response increases with the increasing radiation dose, it is called a __ and it is not observed for months or years
stochastic effect
11
it is the study of the effects of ionizing radiation on biologic tissue
radiobiology
12
The portion of the cell cycle between mitotic events. It is the period of growth of the cell between divisions
interphase
13
the gap in cell growth between M and S is _, it is the pre-DNA synthesis phase
G1
14
It is the DNA synthesis phase. During this period, each DNA molecule is replicated into two identical daughter DNA molecules
S phase
15
the post DNA synthesis gap of cell growth
G2
16
the chromosomes are not visible
interphase
17
the nucleus swells and the DNA becomes more prominent and begins to take structural form
prophase
18
the chromosomes appear and are lined up along the equator of the nucleus. radiation-induced chromosome damage is analyzed during this period
metaphase
19
characterized by the splitting of each chromosome at the centromere, so that a centromere and two chromatids are connected by a fiber (spindle fibers) to the poles (spindles) of the nucleus
anaphase
20
characterized by disappearance of structural chromosomes into a mass of DNA and the closing off of the nuclear membrane, into two nuclei
telophase
