Chromatin DNA sequences intimately associated with the "core"
of the basic, repeating chromatin subunit are shown to be relatively
resistant to digestion by micrococcal nuclease. Chromatin DNA
sequences lying between adjacent chromatin subunits, as well as
DNA sequences in regions of chromatin which are free of chromatin
subunits, are subject...
The genotype frequencies of one-year-old oyster spat
(Crassostrea gigas) from parents of known genotype, are compared
to the frequencies expected with Mendelian inheritance. The genotypes
are characterized at three enzyme loci, Aspartate amino-transferase
(AAT), Phosphohexose isomerase (PHI) and Leucine
aminopeptidase (LAP), and a general protein locus. In this study
expression...
Reliable data for tropical storm occurrences in the northern
portion of the eastern Tropical Pacific did not become available until
1966. Considering the years 1966-75, sizeable interannual variations
in storm frequency are evident. Six climatological factors are
investigated in an attempt to explain this interannual variation. These
are: (1) the...
