A study of multiple mating habit in Atta laevigata based on the DNA content
Abstract
1. 1. Pure DNA was isolated from the genital organs of the Atta laevigata by the sodium dodecylsulfate method and chloroform-isoamyl alcohol treatment. 2. 2. The DNA content in sexual cells of winged mature subjects gives a new method in the analysis of multiple mating in such species of ants. 3. 3. From the data we concluded that each queen had at least three mates during the nuptial flight. © 1981.
