According to the latter authority these 21 chromosomes are separated at anaphase into groups of 10 and n, rarely 9 and 12. According to Geerts the constituents of the bivalents separate normally, sending 7 to each pole, while the remaining 7 uni- valents suffer various fates—some being irregularly distributed to the
