Abstract
THE objection to identifying chromomeres with genes was that there were not supposed to be enough chromomeres. In my opinion this supposition was based on post mortem changes, or on too low a working aperture in the microscope. I have studied the pachyphase (pachytene stage) in Aloe, Lilium, Kniphofia, and Agapanthus especially. The less the opportunity for change before fixation, the greater the number of cells showing the ultimate chromomeres.
