Giant polytene chromosomes from the ovaries of a Drosophila mutant

RC King, SF Riley, JD Cassidy, PE White, and YK Paik

The chromosomes of the ovarian nurse cells of Drosophila melanogaster fall apart during their cycles of endoreduplication. However, chromosomal synapsis occurs in the pseudonurse cells produced in certain mutant females. The resulting polytene chromosomes undergo developmental changes that are strikingly different from those recorded for the giant chromosomes of the larval salivary gland cells.
