Abstract
DEVELOPMENTS over recent years in the technique of cell culture and chromosome analysis have made available considerable numbers of photographs of mitoses. From these, information can be gained rather simply as to the distribution of chromosomes in metaphase, whether it is random, and more particularly whether certain chromosomes tend to lie close together.
