Abstract

The patterns of terminal DNA synthesis of the autosomes and sex chromosomes of Cricetus cricetus were studied. Characteristic late replicating segments are found on all chromosomes allowing identification of most autosomes. The sex chromosomes of both sexes behave similarly; in the male, half of the X and the entire Y are late replicating and heteropycnotic, in the female, half of one X and the whole of the other X. The isopycnotic part of the X-chromosome comprises about 5% of the haploid female complement.
