Abstract: Differences in the gonadal dysgenesis frequency as an indicator of the activation of mobile elements were revealed in F1-descendants of natural populations of Drosoph³la melanogaster, selected from regions of different radiation impact. Under conditions of additional low-rate chronic irradiation in laboratory conditions for 10 generations, significant differences in changes in the level and dynamics of this indicator were established depending on the accumulated dose of Drosophila populations from the city of Netishin (Khmelnytskyi NPP) and Magarach city.

Keywords: mobile elements, gonadal dysgenesis, genomic instability, dynamic effects of chronic exposure.
