polytene chromosome

polytene chromosome
a giant cablelike chromosome composed of numerous identical chromatids arranged in parallel, resulting from many rounds of DNA replication in the absence of chromatid separation and occurring especially in the salivary glands of some insects. Localized hypercoiling of the chromatids produces a characteristic banding pattern, perpendicular to the main axis, that has been used as a cytologic landmark.
