Correspondence between C-Banding and Ag-NOR in the Sex Chromosomes of Belostoma Oxyurum (Belostomatidae, Heteroptera)

The mitotic and meiotic sex chromosomes of Belostoma oxyurum have been analyzed by C-banding and Ag-NOR staining. In mitotic prometaphases the Y chromosome and both telomeric regions of the X are C positive. However, at meiosis one telomeric region of the X chromosome presents always a C positive ba...
