Non-random patterns of non-disjunctional orientation in trivalents of multiple Robertsonian heterozygotes of Dichroplus pratensis (Acrididae)
Metaphase I orientation of centric fusion trivalents was studied in 24 single, 19 double and 3 triple heterozygotes of Dichroplus pratensis. Different populations of this South American melanopline grasshopper are polymorphic for seven Robertsonian fusions, and the polymorphisms seem to be stable. S...
