Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association Angiosperm chromosome length scales with DNA content approximately to the one-half power, similarly to vertebrates.
- Observation Chromosome DNA content per unit volume is approximately constant.
- Association Chromosome cross-sectional area increases proportionally with chromosome length.
- Mechanism The authors hypothesize that cross-section increase limits chromosome elongations that could impede mitosis.
