Abstract
The distances between nonhomologous telocentric chromosomes in squashes of mitotic cells of root tips of wheat conform to a theoretical model based on the distance between points taken at random from a uniform distribution; homologues tended to lie near each other. The 2 telocentrics for opposite arms of the same chromosome are associated to approximately the same degree as homologous telocentrics, suggesting that centromere is at least partly responsible for somatic association.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
