Summary

A new differential staining technique specific for the secondary constriction region of the human No. 1 chromosome makes it possible to study the transmission of this chromosome during mitosis and meiosis and to determine the meiotic non-disjunction frequency for chromosome No. 1 in ejaculated spermatozoa.

Zusammenfassung

Eine neue differentiale Färbetechnik, die für die Sekundärkonstriktion auf dem menschlichen Chromosom Nr. 1 spezifisch ist, ermöglicht es, die Übertragung dieses Chromosoms während der Mitose und Meiose zu verfolgen und die meiotische Nondisjunktion-Häufigkeit des Chromosomes Nr. 1 in ejaculierten Spermatozoen zu bestimmen.
