Title
Variability in Length and Arm Ratio of the Pachytene Chromosomes of Corn

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation In corn, longer chromosome arms have greater variances.
- Observation In corn, longer chromosome arms have smaller coefficients of variability.
- Association In corn, variabilities in arm ratio are not correlated with variabilities in chromosome length.
- Association Chromosome knobs do not influence the variability in length of the chromosome arms in which they occur in corn.
- Intervention effect Tripsacum chromosome material does not differ in length variability from the corresponding corn chromosome material it replaces.
- Mechanism Chromosomes of corn have two kinds of variability, one contributing uniformly per unit length and one a property of each chromosome.
