[Distribution of chiasmas in the 2d and 6th chromosomes involved in Robertsonian translocations in male mice].
The distribution of chiasmata in 2 and 6 chromosomes in males homozygous for Rb(2.6)4Iem and Rb(8.17)1Iem was studied. Chiasmata were shown to distribute along chromosomes non-randomly, exchanges occurring in telomeric regions. Chiasmata distribution is substantially different for the cases of one and two chiasmata per bivalent. The main cause for these differences is supposed to be strong positive chiasmata interference (the position of the first chiasma may determine the position of the second one). The centromere blocks this effect, so chiasma in one arm does not interfere with that in the second arm. It has been shown that the frequency of double exchanges depended on not only the distance between markers under study, but also on marker position in the chromosome.
