[Changes in the function of the nucleus and chromatin of human cells under the action of hormonal factors in vitro].

The influence of hormones--adrenaline, noradrenaline, hydrocortisone on the electronegativity of cell nuclei (ENN) was shown by the method of intracellular microelectrophoresis. Changes in heterochromatin state were estimated on the basis of heterochromatin granules (chromocenters) quantity. Adrenaline and noradrenaline induced the decrease in ENN, the maximum effect was revealed with hormones concentration observed in human blood during physical training.

[Effect of culture density and degree of expression of the trait "eyeless" and degree of polyteny of giant chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster].

Effects of culture density on expressivity of character eyeless and polyteny of giant chromosomes were studied in Drosophila melanogaster. Larval crowding was shown to significantly reduce eye facets. The expression of eyeless was sex-dependent: in females, this character was expressed more strongly than in males.
