Figure 2

Metaphase plates of karyomorphs A and D of Erythrinus erythrinus showing the locations of the 5S rDNA and the Rex3 retroelement on the chromosomes using double-FISH analysis. Note the dispersed interstitial pattern of Rex3 in both karyomorphs and its co-localization with the 5S rDNA on the centromeric region of the chromosomes. The box indicates the clear aggregation of some acrocentric chromosomes, which was seen in almost all chromosome preparations. The Y chromosome is indicated. Bar = 5 μm.
