Abstract
The segregation of DNA at the time of cell division was analysed by measuring the DNA contents of cells in mitosis and the incorporation of tritiated thymidine (3H-TdR) on each half of anaphases and telophases. Results suggest that the spreads in the 2C and 4C DNA contents are due to quantitative differences which could originate during semi-conservative DNA synthesis, chromosome assembly and chromosome segregation. This continuous rearrangement of the genome could lead either to a degenerative process or to a differentiation program.Entities:
