Abstract excerpt

Segregation of polymorphic diallelic loci, which encode isozyme synthesis in seed endosperms of Pinus Sylvestris L. trees exposed to various levels of radiation after Chernobyl' meltdown, was studied. It was shown that directional gametic selection, expressed as segregation distortion in heterozy...
