## Abstract We show that the chromatin in mitotic chromosomes can be drastically overcompacted or unfolded by temporary shifts in ion concentrations. By locally βmicrosprayingβ reactants from micronβsize pipettes, while simultaneously monitoring the size of and tension in single chromosomes, we are
A persistence of the embryonic type of mitotic cycle was found in postnatal strains with aneuploidy of sex chromosomes (45,X; 47,XXX; 49,XXXXX; 47,XYY; 49,XXXXY). Life-span and proliferating activity of the strains did not differ from those of diploid postnatal cells.
