The long arms of the X and Y chromosomes of the mosquito Anopheles atroparvus (2n equals 6) are equal in length, synchronous in their late DNA replication and have homologous G AND Q bands. This indicates that differentiation of the two sex chromosomes was the consequence of a single deletion of an
C and Q bands in long arm of Y chromosomes; are they identical?

β¦ Synopsis
A phenotypically normal male has a small Y chromosome with no Yq fluorescence, but displays constitutive heterochromatin on the end of Yq. C and Q bands on Yq therefore need not be necessarily identical.

We used a cloned cDNA probe for human growth hormone and Southern blotting techniques to analyze DNA from a series of rodent x human somatic cell hybrids for the presence of growth hormone-related sequences. Our results provide evidence for the assignment of the genes for growth hormone and chorioni
In order to test the hypothesis that somatic mosaicism involving C-band polymorphism of human chromosomes 1, 9, 16 may arise from mitotic crossing over, peripheral blood lymphocytes from normal males were treated with mitomycin C, which is known to induce somatic crossing over in lower eukaryotes. E
