Abstract: The frequency of irradiation-induced recessive lethals has been studied in chromosomes 1 and 2 of Drosophila melanogaster. It supposed, that the higher level of mutability may be explained in destabilization of genotype. The essential part in induction of genotype destabilization replies the genome instability mechanisms.
