C-Banding (constitutive heterochromatin banding)
Constitutive heterochromatin includes repetative DNA, satellite DNA, and some non-repetative DNA and is found near the centromemeres and at the end of the long arm of the Y in human chromosomes. These regions stain darkly after treatment of the slide with acid, heat and alkyline solutions followed by staining with Leishman stain.  Notice the large heterochromatic regions on chromosomes 1 and 9. |
