* 23 metaphase spreads from Syrian hamster (male) cells are analyzed. For each chromosome number, "100" represents the detection of FISH signal in all chromosomes. "0" means the absence of the signal in all chromosomes of the corresponding number.
** Frequency of detection of ITS in acrocentric chromosomes ##16, 17, 18, 19 is not presented in the table (see explanations in the text).
