[Polymorphism of pericentromeric heterochromatin in natural populations of Anopheles maculipennis Mg].
Variations in pericentromeric heterochromatin quantity was found in polytene chromosomes X and 3 (in 3L arm) in the ovarian trophocytes in two natural populations of Anopheles meculipennis Mg. (Moscow, Sochi). The existence of block and non-block variants and of heterozygotes between them was shown. Northern population have more variants of blocks than the southern populations do.
