Abstract excerpt
The genetic (cytogenetic) effects of microgravity have been under study for about 30 years. This line of research developed through three periods. Initially, biologists raised the question whether microgravity may act as a lethal factor or a strong mutagen. Many flight experiments gave a negative answer to it. The major goal of the second period was to identify the effects of microgravity at the chromosomal and...
