To study the behaviour of a living cell exposed to radiations we investigate a stochastic model, employing for its analysis the theory of semi‐Markov and Markov renewal processes. Four states of the cell namely, normal state, damaged state 1, damaged state 2 and altered state are defined and various characteristics of interest pertaining to the cell behaviour are studied.
