DNA and RNA content in diploid and tetraploid amphibians

Experientia volume 27, pages 345–346 (1971)Cite this article

Resumen

En el anuro tetraploide naturalOdontophrynus americanus, el contenido de DNA es el doble que el determinado, bioquimicamente, en los especimens de la población diploide deO. americanus. Sin embargo el contenido de RNA de ejemplares de las dos poblaciones es aproximadamente igual. Aparentemente, mecanismos de regulación bloquean el esceso de material genético en el tetraploide.
