Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mitosis in sea urchin eggs was retarded following their exposure to magnetic fields higher than 70,000 gauss which had gradients greater than 4200 gauss/centimeter. The degree of retardation was correlated simultaneously to both the field strength and the field gradient. Division delay in fields ranging from 100,000 to a maximum of 120,000 gauss was independent of the gradient. Differences in division delay were found which may be a reflection of the differential migration of oxygen and nitrogen due to their para- and diamagnetic properties. An hypothesis is given concerning the biochemical processes affected by magnetic fields. (Author).
