Figure 3. Example relative fluorescence histograms for samples stained with propidium iodide. The 2C peaks represent diploid cells, and 4C peaks represent cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, with replicated DNA. Standard used: Solanum pseudocapsicum 2C = 2.61 pg. A, Himacerus apterus female with 2n = 36 + XX and 2C = 9.71 pg. B, Nabis maoricus female with 2n = 16 + XX and 2C = 4.21 pg.
