The series of communications to check the applicability of one of the most likely models of the loss of reproductive integrity of irradiated eukaryotic cells has been completed by this paper. Many radiobiologists accept the cytogenetic model but no one has analyzed mathematically its applicability. We have succeeded in explaining some significant experimental data and therefore our model is something more than a simple working hypothesis. In this paper the model is considered to prove its significance as the first approach to a more detailed study of the phenomenon.
