Abstract: | The maps of the lampbrush chromosomes of Triturus marmoratus oocytes were constructed on the basis of their lengths and major morphological characters such as giant fusing loops, dense matrix loops, lumpy objects, axial granules, lateral globules and reflected fusions; a nucleolus organizing region occurs subterminally on the right side of chromosome X. — Bivalent I appears morphologically asymmetrical, its two partners being of different lengths and bearing heteromorphic loops and other heterozygous structures: this heteromorphism may indicate that the two partners of bivalent I represent the ZW heterochromosomes of the species. Finally, an autoradiographic study has been performed in order to ascertain the pattern of 3H-uridine incorporation shown by the most typical landmarks and nucleoli.This work was financially supported by C.N.R., Roma. |
