Phaseolus polytene chromosomes

Idiogramm

The schematic view of the karyotype as Idiogramm is based on both the length measurements of the chromosome arms and the chromosome specific characteristics of the cHC. These feature are indicated and numbered in the idiogramm. The division of the areas and the numbering follows the same principle as the banding of human chromosomes according to the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN 1995). From the same nomenclature also the naming of the short arms as p and the long arm as q has been adopted .
