Schematic representation of the two alternative hypotheses regarding some DNA sequences in the SAACs. The alternative on the left depicts the situation in which there are no chromosome-specific sequences in the short arms; the alternative on the right includes chromosome-specific sequences shown as bars of different colors in the short arms of each acrocentric chromosome.
