Abstract:
Experiments were performed on fixed metaphase chromosomes using standard techniques for revealing paracentromeric heterochromatin (C bands) followed by staining with acridine orange with the aim of studying C-banding mechanism. Data obtained suggest that the specific resistance to the chemical-physical treatments of the heterochromatic areas is a consequence of the particular structural conditions that the C-positive material shows only after its early renaturation.
