Title: Chromosomal territories
Post by: chang190 on Oct 21, 2010
Identify if each of the following statements about chromosomal territories is true or false.

1. Chromosome painting is an extension of Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH).
2. A polytene chromosome is a chromosome that divides more often that the number of cell cycles, and so is a reduced chromosome.
3. If we do a chromosome painting experiment with each chromosome painted with a different color and chromosomes do not occupy their own domains the colors would mix together and be a grayish-brown color.
