Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the alteration occurred in testes and DNA pattern as an effect of inherited sterility. Full grown pupae of the wax moth, <jats:italic>Galleria mellonella<\/jats:italic> were irradiated with 80 and 160 Gy of \u03b3 irradiation. The size of the testes was decreased by increasing of \u03b3 irradiation dose. Also, the size of the testes was decreased in <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> males comparing with the size of the testes of both the parents and the untreated control.
