## Abstract Exposure of early sea urchin embryos to 5‐bromodeoxyuridine (at concentrations up to 100 μg per ml) severely decreases the uptake of exogenous ^3^H‐uridine into RNA. However, the actual gross rate of DNA or RNA synthesis in these embryos appears not to be affected by the presence of 5‐b

Abstract
Cytoplasmic poly‐A containing RNA, synthesized by cultured chick embryo cells, was examined during growth in 5‐bromodeoxyuridine. The kinetics of ^3^H‐adenosine incorporation into this species of RNA, when compared to the rest of the cytoplasmic RNA, and to control cells, indicates that the rate of synthesis of this RNA is slower in BrdU treated cells. An examination of the rate at which a steady state distribution of radioactivity, between the poly‐A segment and non‐poly‐A portion of poly‐A containing RNA is reached also indicated that this species is synthesized at a lower rate in BrdU treated cells.
