[Chiasmata distribution in the normal karyotype of mice]. / Raspredelenie khiazm v normal'nom kariotipe myshi.

The number of chiasmata per cell and variance of chiasmata numbers were studied, as well as the recombinational interaction between different bivalents in CBA/Lac mice male line. No competition of bivalents for chiasmata was discovered in mice; at the same time, the chiasmata within one arm of the chromosome interfere with each other. The number of chiasmata per bivalent is estimated for each chromosome independently. The number of chiasmata per chromosome is limited both from below (minimum one chiasma independently of its size) and from above (positive interference of chiasmata).
