A MICRO DISSECTION OF THE PACHYTENE THREADS OF TRADESCANTIA VIRGINICA L. WITH OBSERVATIONS ON SOME ASPECTS OF MITOSIS

Abstract

A micro dissection of the pachytene threads of Tradescantia virginica L. shows that the relation of the chromosomes is a matter of continuous linkage in a chain and that, undoubtedly, division and segregation are everywhere processes of abstriction with subsequent mechanical distribution of the elements.
