Pilot experiments of various doses of γ-radiation. (A) Egg-laying study comparing number of eggs laid by C. elegans exposed to 0 (control), 20 and 40 kRad γ-radiation doses. Animals exposed to γ-radiation laid less eggs than non-irradiated control animals. (B) Distance traveled by C. elegans exposed to 0 (control), 20 and 40 kRad γ-radiation doses. Non-irradiated animals were healthy and active. Animals exposed 40 kRad of γ-radiation explored less than 20 kRad and control.
