[Formation of heat-sensitivity in the ontogenesis of a heat-resistant Drosophila strain and the relation between this property and the mutation process].
In the experiments with a heat-resistant line of Drosophila melanogaster, it has been shown that organismal heat-resistance is formed during ontogenesis, prior to hatching, though it can be changed, in accordance with the temperature conditions after hatching (acclimation). Heat-resistance of germ cells is formed during the pupal stage; it depends on the development temperature and remains unchanged thereafter. The mutation rate (the frequency of dominant lethals) in oocytes depends on the development temperature and not on the temperature life conditions of imago. Therefore, it may be concluded that heat-resistance of germ cells as well as their reaction on extreme temperatures are autonomous, meaning their independence of this property in the organism.
