Abstract
On the basis of analysis of the morphological and genetical variability revealed by the method of gel-electrophoresis of proteins, the state of gene pools of populations of modeling species Bradybaena fruticum (bush snails) in conditions of influence of ore dressing combines is investigated. The authentic decrease of the level of heterozygosity and decrease of an allelic diversification in the researched bunches is fixed in comparison with the control populations, which is caused both by natural factors and by factors of the anthropogenic parentage. The genetic-automatic processes in populations are considered, and vectors of natural selection are defined. On the basis of calculation of the effective number, a forecast of the time of existence of populations is given.
