Abstract

IN Vicia faba, chromatids are formed by two functional sub-units that replicate during interphase and segregate at anaphase together with their replicas1. This has been confirmed in other organisms2–6 and interpreted on the basis of a uninemic chromosome model and semiconservative DNA replication6.
