Abstract

This study was made to establish a stable quantitative characteristic of C segments on chromosomes 1, 9, 16, and Y in an individual karyotype that was reproducible in successive experiments. The C segment of these chromosomes were measured in successive cultures of cells from three males and the C segments of chromosomes 1, 9, and 16 in cells from three pairs of female monozygotic twins were measured. The results show that the absolute lengths of C segments tend to vary considerably with the cell samples analyzed, while the relative length, i.e., the length of a single C segment as a percentage of the total length of all C segments of the chromosomes being studied, is more stable and can be used for individual characteristics.
