Spatial Distribution of Old and New Chromatid Sub-units and Frequency of Chromatid Exchanges in Induced Human Lymphocyte Endoreduplications

Nature volume 216, pages 286–288 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

IN Vicia faba, chromatids are formed by two functional sub-units that replicate during interphase and segregate at anaphase together with their replicas1. This has been confirmed in other organisms2–6 and interpreted on the basis of a uninemic chromosome model and semiconservative DNA replication6.
