Summary

ADrosophila melanogaster line has been treated with ionizing radiations. The dose-response relationship has been studied upon separate treatment of male and female gametes. The results show that while the total survival is similar, at different developmental stages differences can be observed between progenies from treated male and female gametes. It is suggested that developmental patterns may affect the expression of induced mutations.
