[Frequency of radiation-induced exchanges in easily identifiable monkey chromosomes]
Abstract:
Frequency of asymmetric exchanges of readily identifiable chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 ad 20 was studied in primary kidney cell cultures of monkeys. Macaca mulatta and Papio hamadryas irradiated with 200 R of X-rays at G0. The chromosomes studied enter asymmetric exchange in accordance with their lengths of mitosis. The frequency of exchanges is independent of the quantity of late-replicating heterochromation in chromosomes. The radiosensitivity of chromosomes was identical in the two monkey species.

Crossing Over
The homologous pairs of sister chromosomes—one from the maternal and one from the paternal genome—then begin to align alongside each other lengthwise, matching corresponding DNA positions in a process called synapsis.
