Abstract
Brief results of the previous studies of the
effect of electromagnetic radiation on the fruit flies are
quoted. The influence of electromagnetic radiation of
industrial frequency on the living organisms has been
investigated. Correlative dependence between phenotype
Drosophila melanogaster L., duration and intensity of
harmful factors has been established. Phenotypic manifestations
have been fixed and Drosophila melanogaster L.
mutation under the constant influence of the magnetic field
induction from 2,25 to 20 μТ in three generations of test
objects have been characterized. The dependence of the
increased frequency of mutations occurrence and the
increase of their diversity caused by the increase of
magnetic field induction has been revealed.
