Abstract
Salivary chromosome analysis of 262 breaks induced by X-rays in the sperm indicates that these breaks occur with equal frequency in the heterochromatic Y-chromosome and in the essentially euchromatic autosomes. This is interpreted as indicating that the structure of the chromo-nema is similar in all regions of the chromosomes.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
