Abstract excerpt

Pericentric heterochromatin polymorphism in chromosome 2 of ovarian trophocytes was studied in three natural populations of the malaria mosquito Anopheles messeae Fall. It is shown that pericentric heterochromatin blocks occur in four different variants whose sizes are at the 1:2:3:4 ratio (singl...
