Abstract: | Fluorescence analysis after quinacrine staining in squashes of Varese wild stock male larval ganglia confirmed that the Y chromosome has four characteristic sections of bright fluorescence. In one Y/X and in one Y/III translocation the section of bright fluorescence on the short arm of the Y is no longer bright when translocated onto the terminal portion of the X and on the right arm of the III chromosome, respectively. Fluorescence analysis has also permitted the identification of a structurally abnormal Y chromosome in a cell line of Drosophila melanogaster established in vitro. The findings in the two translocations call for caution in the interpretation of structural rearrangements by fluorescence analysis. |
