Abstract: | Canton-S Drosophila melanogaster males were exposed to electrostatic and magnetic fields for 24 h to determine the influence of low energy fields on the production of sex-linked recessive lethal mutations in the mature, motile sperm. To detect sex-linked recessive lethal production in mature sperm the standard Muller-5 test was done. Exposure of the males to the magnetic field or the electrostatic field did not significantly affect the mutation frequency in mature sperm. |
