| Abstract: | Chromosome interconnections joining all chromosomes of a cell are present in somatic and meiotic cells of mammals. They originate at the ends of the chromosomes as extensions of the central axis of the chromosome or chromosome pair and they join the ends of other chromosomes sometimes passing through anastomoses. They are highly elastic single strands with differentiation of light and dark, thick and thin areas. Mouse pachytene interconnections are unusual in that strands arising from the short arms are not elastic. |
