Experimental evidence for the binemic structure of human chromosomes.

A binemic model of eukaryotyc chromosome was tested using PCR-amplification of some unique genes in individual sperm cells or in human DNA diluted to 1/2 of the DNA amount of a haploid cell. According to the model, all the hereditary information, including all the unique genes, is represented twice in the haploid genome. Backing up of information enhances reliability of the genome by several orders of magnitude.
