Abstract
UNLIKE gene mutations the expression of which may be subject to considerable modification, chromosomal changes will remain the same whether they occur as sporadic aberrations or become incorporated in the karyotype of a species. If the complements of two closely related species differ, spontaneous chromosomal mutations paralleling the karyotypic differences should be demonstrable in the same group of organisms.
