Chromosome Movement: Facts and Hypotheses

  • Conference paper
Mitosis Facts and Questions

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

What follows is a brief and informal summary of my remarks at the workshop. Fortunately, several recent reviews are available for additional information and references. These include Bajer and Molè-Bajer, 1972; Forer, 1974; Inoué and Ritter, 1975; Mcintosh et al., 1975; Nicklas, 1971, 1975. Research reports from several laboratories may be found in Goldman et al., 1976.
