The influence on allelic recombination of non-lethal doses of gamma radiation delivered at different stages during meiosis has been determined and the data compared with previous results concerning gene recombination. Both kinds of recombination are influenced at only two, probably the same two, meiotic stages. During the first sensitive stage, probably in preleptotene, the frequency of allelic recombination is increased, but that of gene recombination decreased. The frequency of both is increased during the second sensitive stage, which is probably in pachytene.
