Abstract excerpt
It has been shown that most of Drosophila melanogaster mutant lines obtained as a result of X-rays irradiation (XI) as well as of the combined action of XI and some chemical agents are characterized by decreased indexes of average (7-40 %) and maximal (1-35 %) life span. Insertion-excision processes at the instable genes white and cut are among the reasons of decreased vitality and shortened life span in induced...
