Abstract
Electron microscopy of synaptonemal complexes in heterokaryotypic Gallus domesticus cockerels revealed that chromosome rearrangements that had been classified by light microscopy as single breaks were in fact reciprocal translocations. A microchromosome provided the centromere for the acentric long arm of chromosome 1 in a rearrangement that had been classified as a centric fission, and microchromosomes were involved in several other rearrangements. The translocation points were mapped in three of the rearrangements.
