Abstract
The frequency of induced and spontaneous recessive sex-linked lethal m utations (RSLLM) in Drosophila melanogaster strains w and ms was estim ated after their chronic irradiation in the five-kilometer zone of the Chernobyl' meltdown. The mutagenic effect of relatively low radiation doses was analyzed. In an experiment conducted in 1990, a significant increase in the RSLLM frequency was recorded, while, in 1991, no sign ificant difference between the experiment and control was found.
