And it's not just a matter of how much radiation either. Zap a bunch of fruit flies with a dose of x-rays all at once and see the next generation come out horribly mutated. Give them that same dose of radiation over the course of a month and see a perfectly healthy next generation.
- ipaddr 6y agoHas that happened flies or animals that are immune to high radiation? I could see the next generation having horrible mutations, I could see the genes correcting some of this in the 3rd generation. I could see some of mutations living on but resistance to radiation would be so extremely useful we would build materials out of them which we are not doing today.
