Polytene Chromosomes

Polytene Chromosome is a giant metaphase chromosome formed through repeated rounds of DNA replication without cell division (endoreplication), resulting in thousands of aligned chromatids that remain tightly associated and exhibit characteristic banding patterns used for high-resolution cytogenetic mapping.
