Title: Dependence of heat resistance of Drosophila on ambient temperature and relationship of this property to mutation process

Abstract

It has been demonstrated that thermosensitvity of the gametes in Drosophila line T correlates with the heat resistance of the flies. This property of the gametes is determined during ontogenesis, depending on the temperature during development and not by genotypic preadaptation as such, i.e., affinity of the females to the heat resistance line T. The ability of females to acquire heat resistance during the adult phase (in the first three days after emergence), i.e., by acclimatization to a temperature different from the temperature during development does not change the response of the gametes to extreme temperature which had developed during ontogenesis under a particular temperature.
