We have used banding techniques to study the chromosomes of mice heterozygous for two genetically defined paracentric inversions, In(l)lRk and In(2)5Rk. The banding patterns of each inversion-carrying chromosome had an inverted region, and the relative lengths of the genetically and cytologically defined segments were comparable.
