 | | Giemsa staining produced heavy bands in the centromeric and pericentromeric regions of chromosome II and the X chromosome, as well as one band on the centromere of chromosome III, and a stained block outside the centromeric region. |
 | | The Giemsa stained blocks in the pericentromeric region of chromosomes II, III and X disappeared after C-banding, demonstrating that they are not formed from constitutive heterochromatin. |
 | | The Y chromosome, that appeared totally heterochromatic with Giemsa staining, presented an intensely stained band in the centromeric region after C-banding and was sub-metacentric (Figure 2). |
