Abstract

The periodic occurrence of chiasmata was studied in lampbrush chromosomes of the chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus). It was shown that the most probable interference distance in chicken macrobivalents 1–3 corresponded to 24.48 Mb. The distance at which absolute interference is observed in chicken macrochromosomes varies from 5.75 to 9.02 Mb.
