Abstract
Quinacrine fluorescent banding patterns of chromosomes 9 and 13 are very similar in mitotic preparations of Mus musculus. Meiotic studies were carried out in male and female mice heterozygous for two translocations involving these chromosomes to determine whether the translocations have a common chromosome. The results indicate that chromosome 9 is involved in the T163H translocation but not in either the T70H or T264Ca translocations. The T70H and T264Ca translocations, but not the T163H, have chromosome 13 in common. These results support the interpretations based on mitotic studies.
