Abstract
The satellite DNAs of Drosophila virilis have been examined in diploid and polyploid tissues by isopycnic ultracentrifugation and thermal denaturation experiments. Previous work has established that the satellite DNAs are underreplicated in the polytene chromosomes of the salivary glands of D. virilis. The results of the present experiments demonstrate that this underreplication also takes place in the ovaries which contain nurse cells and follicle cells. These tissues are polyploid but do not show polytene chromosomes.Entities:
