Abstract
Continuous exposure of embryonic explants to thymidineโH^3^ was used to determine patterns of lateโreplicating DNA synthesis, i.e. DNA synthesized during the last quarter of the S period, in chromosomes from different germ layers of developing frog embryos (Rana pipiens). Autoradiographic localization of silver grains over chromosomes 1, 7 and 8, as well as unkaryotyped chromosomes, revealed that patterns of lateโreplicating DNA are similar in determined cells that will undergo different pathways of differentiation. In undetermined early gastrula cells and in differentiated tailbud dorsal axial cells (nerve tube, somites and notochord) more sites of DNA synthesis were lateโreplicating in chromosomes 1, 7 and 8 and in unkaryotyped chromosomes than in cells of the neural plateโdorsal mesoderm of neurulae where differentiation is occurring and in neurula endoderm where determination is taking place.

The cytogenetic study of a series of 79 colorectal cancers was performed with special attention to sex chromosome behavior. It was found that apart from other chromosomal changes, the early-replicating X chromosome (Xe) was frequently duplicated in tumors from both males and females. This contrasted
