[The dynamic mutability of the somatic and germ cells of animals inhabiting regions of radioactive fallout].
Many generations (1-18) of natural populations of small mammals that inhabited in 1986-1991 areas contaminated by radionuclides, had increased levels of the mutations in somatic cells and gametes. The high frequency of chromosome aberrations in somatic cells of young carps from contaminated ponds was detected in 1988-1992. Radiosensitivity of hereditary structures of animal somatic cells and gametes was increased in subsequent generations as compared with generations that lived in 1986-1988.
