Each group consisted of ten female and ten male newly emerged flies kept in separate vials for the first 48 h. After the 48 h, when both males and females of each group were sexually mature, they were put together (10 pairs) in another glass vial and they were allowed to mate and lay eggs for the next 72 h. Additionally, newly emerged flies were exposed to a combination of alternating 50 Hzmagnetic field and heat shock (30°C) for 48 h. In these experiments the ten males and the ten females of each group were put together in the same vial from the beginning of each experiment and they were exposed for 48 h. Then the females were dissected and the eggs of different stages in their ovaries were examined for possible malformations.
