The genetic instability of Drosophila melanogaster genes induced by the mobile genetic elements is reviewed. The main attention is paid to genetic instability depended on types of crossing. Data on the possibility of genetic instability induction by the chemical and physical (X-rays, heat-shock) agents and their complex effect are cited. It was shown that a number of agents which cause mutagenic effect realize their action by involving of mobile genetic elements.
