Abstrakt: Frequencies of exchange were determined in C-bands of chromosomes 1, 9 and 16 in six normal males, and related to relative C-band area. Comparing these different chromosomes, more exchanges occurred on average in 9 than in 1 although their mean C-band sizes were similar. Chromosome 16 exchanges were fewer, both overall and relative to C-band area. Comparing the same chromosome between individuals, there was a positive correlation between relative frequency and band size in both 1-1 and 9-9 exchanges. No clear trend was observed for other exchange events.
