Abstract
WHILE investigating the kinetics of transfer of DNA from the parent to the progeny in yeast cells with the help of tritium autoradiography, we found that there occurs considerable degradation of the labelled DNA at the onset of the stationary phase of growth. The relevant experiments are described and the underlying possibilities are discussed.
