The DNA content of Chinese hamster meiotic metaphase chromosomes.
DNA values of Chinese hamster male meiotic metaphase chromosomes were measured by slide-based Feulgen cytometry. All the autosomes were distinguishable on the basis of their DNA content. No significant differences were found between the autosomes of the two male animals studied, but a significant difference was found in the DNA content of the sex-chromosome pair between these two animals.
