    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Molecular Biology
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Eukaryotic genome organization presents complex challenges.
    • Understanding chromosome structure is crucial for deciphering gene function.
    • Drosophila melanogaster serves as a key model organism for genetic studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current knowledge on genome organization in eukaryotic chromosomes.
    • To highlight specific features of genetic material organization in Drosophila.
    • To discuss the functional roles of different DNA sequences and chromosomal regions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of genetical studies.
    • Analysis of molecular-biological data.
    • Comparative genomics approaches.

    Main Results:

    • Euchromatic regions comprise functional units (chromomeres, gene loci) with DNA excess.
    • Heterochromatic regions contain satellite DNA and tandemly repeated genes (polygenes).
    • Polygenes are involved in general cellular functions and exhibit instability in number and location.

    Conclusions:

    • Genome organization involves distinct euchromatic and heterochromatic structures.
    • Satellite DNA and polygenes play significant roles in chromosome function and cellular processes.
    • Instability of polygene localization may relate to somatic cell differentiation.
