Histones of Mitosis and Meiosis in <i>Loxa flavicolis</i> (Hemipteran)

Abstract

In a study of chromosome pairing, the basic nucleoproteins of meiotic cells of Loxa flavicolis, a tropical bug, are compared with asynaptic cells of the testis and somatic cells. The normal meiotic cells are found to differ markedly from the other kinds, while only slight differences are found between asynaptic and somatic nuclei.
