Mutagenesis and antimutagenesis are contrary directed processes determining the, level of genetic variability arc! stability

L. L. Lukash

There are observed such questions: actuality of the problem of human, genetic structures protection against toxic and mutagenic factors of the environment medium, the developing of the mutagenic theory and branching of tlie antimutagenesis problem, the realization of the influence of the genetic active environmental fc/ctors on the different levels of biosystem organization, the mechanisms of the adaptation of the organism to the changed outer conditions, short characteristic of genetic active factors and. the peculiarities of the antimutagens of natural origin.
