Abstract

The submicroscopic arrangement of DNA molecules in living sperm is analyzed by new, highly sensitive polarization optical techniques. It is concluded that the molecules are arranged as a coil of a coil in sperm chromosomes, which in turn appear to be arranged in single file with a definite sequence.
