Motion Pictures
_Radiation and the Population_, 29 minutes, sound, black and white,
1962. Produced by the Argonne National Laboratory. This film explains
how radiation causes mutations and how these mutations are passed on
to succeeding generations. Mutation research is illustrated with
results of experimentation on generations of mice. A discussion of
work with fruit flies and induced mutations is also included. This
film is available for loan without charge from the AEC Headquarters
Film Library, Division of Public Information, U. S. Atomic Energy
Commission, Washington, D. C. 20545 and from other AEC film libraries.
The following films were produced by the American Institute of
Biological Sciences and may be rented from the Text-Film Division,
McGraw-Hill Book Company, 330 West 42nd Street, New York 10036.
_Mutation_, 28 minutes, sound, color, 1962. This film discusses
chromosomal and genetic mutations as applied to man. Muller’s work in
inducing mutations by X rays is described.
These three films are 30 minutes long, have sound, are in black and
white, and were released in 1960. They are part of a 48-film series
that is correlated with the textbook, _Principles of Genetics_, (fifth
edition), Edmund W. Sinnott, L. C. Dunn, and Theodosius Dobzhansky,
McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1958, 459 pp., $8.50.
