Abstract

Effect of the folic acid or methionine excess in Drosophila melanogaster diet on the components of fitness in Canton-S (C-S) and radius incompletus (ri) stocks has been studied. It has been found that the excess of both folic acid and methionine in food reduces the number of individuals surviving to the pupa stage. The excess methionine in the growth medium also reduces the number of individuals surviving to adult stage. The variability of both indexes is independent of the genotype in the case of exposure to folic acid and is depends on it in the case of methionine excess. The methionine excess in the environment also changes some of the indexes of early embryonic mortality among the offspring of individuals exposed.
