| Popis: | This research was designed for the purpose of studying the effect of 5 periods of exposure to infrared radiation (0,5,10,20 and 30) minutes on the product of phenotypic mutations of housefly: musca domestica by calculating the percentage of abnormalities, which included distortions of wings and tentacles, small body size, depreciation rate and rate emergence rate for adults. The results showed that the infrared radiation had significant effects in causing deformations, especially in the period 20 and 30 minutes, while the exposure periods caused clear effects in the larval mortality, where the highest mortality rate reached 72% for the period 30 minutes. While this rate decreased to 15% and 19% for periods 5 and 10 min. respectively, and thus formed significant differences as a compared with the control group, while the lowest percentage of emergence was 18% at period 30, which led to a decrease in rate of adults emerging. |
