Population-genetic consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl NPP for cattle self-reproducing in the alienated zone
Description
We have performed the analysis of a genetic structure for generations of cattle-self-reproducing under conditions of enhanced radioactive contamination in the alienated zone near the Chernobyl NPP. Only in the second generation was revealed one animal mutated by the transferrin locus. The violation of the equiprobable transfer of allelic variants by certain loci from parents to off springs is observed. It is shown that heterozygosity does not decrease in generations in spite of inbreeding. The possible mechanisms of the phenomena observed are considered
