Abstract

The experiments were carried out on human leucocytes cultured in vitro. We studied the distribution of silver grains over metaphase chromosomes after pulse-labeling of cells with H3-lysine in S- and G2 phases. It was found that the grain number per chromosome of the pairs No. 1–3, 13–15 is proportional to their lengths. The probability of incorporation of labeled proteins into each of the homologous chromosomes of the first pair is equal to 0.5 found from the results of statistical analysis of silver grain counts. In cells with karyotype XXX labeled in late-S, the grain number per chromosome in the subgroup 6-X-7 is uniform. In these cells there is no difference in labeling densities among chromosomes of the group A. The data obtained suggest that the formation of the protein component in autosomes of different groups as well as in homologous autosomes and sex-chromosomes proceeds simultaneously and at equal rate.
