Summary
The square distances of chromosome centromeres to the center of the mitosis plate, after circular transformation, were measured on each 100 mitosis plates of cultured fibroblasts from a man and a woman. It is proved statistically, that the larger chromosomes are located more in the periphery than the smaller chromosomes.
Zusammenfassung
An je 100 Mitoseplatten einer männlichen und weiblichen Fibroblastenkultur wurden nach zirkulärer Transformation die Abstandquadrate der einzelnen Chromosomenpaare zum Zentrum der Platte gemessen. Es ergibt sich eine signifikante Zuordnung der großen Chromosomen zur Peripherie, der kleinen Chromosomen zur inneren Zone der Mitoseplatte.
