  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The centromeres of chromosomes from human lymphocytes as well as root tips ofVicia faba andCrepis capillaris release the sister-chromatids in nonrandom, genetically controlled sequences. In man chromosomes 18 and 17 are amongst the earliest and 13, 14, 15 the last. The sequences may be a universal phenomenon among eukaryotes.
