Abstract

The behavlor of the sex chromosomes during meiosis in the house shrew, Suncus murinus, shows some interesting features. Both X- and Y-chromosomes are large and biarmed and have huge segments of C-band material in noncentromeric areas. A distinct chiasma is formed between the short arms of the X and Y chromosomes and the heterochromatic regions in the bivalents show desynapsis in the form of a bulge.
