| Description | Animals respond to iononizing radiation at a lower dose or a shorter exposure compared to control animals. Iononizing radiation has a wavelength in the 10 to 0.01 nanometer range. In C. elegans, increased sensitivity to X-ray irradiation is often observed as a decrease in survival upon exposure compared to control animals given the same treatment. |
