Radiation-induced deterministic effects can be produced as a consequence of either medical or accidental radiation exposures. Which of the following statements concerning deterministic effects is FALSE?

An individual carrying a mutation on their chromosome may not express the mutation in the phenotype but will carry the mutation in the genotype

A person who received a total body dose of radiation of 3000 cGy would receive treatment to combat the effects of the radiation.  During treatment the individual would be receive which of the following? Whole blood replacement Alimentary fluids with electrolytes Complete decontamination for removal radioactive substances Antibiotics comprised of several drugs to combat all possible infections

Which of the following statements regarding embryo and fetus irradiation exposure are true?    Severe CNS related malformations are possible outcomes during irradiation  during the 5th week post conception    Prenatal death and Neonatal death is a common outcome when irradiated  during the 11th week post conception    Permanent growth retardation may be an outcome seen later in life due to exposure during the fetal stage   An embryo that survives irradiation during the preimplantation stage will have many major congenital malformations

Which of the following is true concerning radiation-induced mutations:

For a given biological system, the Do in the presence of O2 was determined to be 2 Gy for specific energy A and 1 Gy for the same particle with energy B.  Under hypoxic conditions, the Do was 6 Gy for A and 1.5 Gy for B.  Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between the two radiations? The OER for energy A is  :  The OER for energy B is:      Radiation A has a higher LET than energy B  For a given dose of radiation B, fractionating the dose would not differ markedly in the amount of cell killing as a that produced from a single dose of radiation Radiation B will cause greater cell damage than Radiation A
