Karyotype Differentiation Characterized by C-banded Heterochromatin and Nucleolus Organizer Regions in Anemonefish (Pomacentridae)

Occurrence of multiple nucleolus organizer regions and intraspecific karyotype variation in Scaptotrigona xanthotricha Moure (Hymenoptera, Meliponini).

Scaptotrigona xanthotricha has a wide geographic distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. One population from southeast and two from northeast Brazil were analyzed and were found to have chromosome polymorphisms. Although the chromosome number 2n = 34 is conserved in this species, karyotypic analysis revealed clear differences between the three populations. Congruent and ubiquitous mu...

Distribution of C-heterochromatin and Nucleolar Organizer Regions in the Karyotype of Marbled Polecat, Vormela peregusna (Carnivora: Mustelidae)

Banded chromosomes of a male marbled polecat, Vormela peregusna, from the Konya province in Turkey were studied. Conventional chromosome staining, Ag-NOR staining and C-banding were used to reveal the detailed morphology of the karyotype. The karyotype included eight metacentric, four submetacentric , five subtelocentric and one acrocentric autosomal pair (NFa = 70). The X chromosome was a medi...

C-Banded Karyotype and Nucleolar Organizer Regions (NORs) of Wild Boar, Sus scrofa (Artiodactyla: Suidae) from Anatolia

The present study reports the karyotype, C-banding, and nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) of 6 Sus scrofa (Linnaeus, 1758) males from Anatolia. The karyotype of S. scrofa comprised (2n) 38 chromosomes, the number of chromosomal arms (FN) was 64, and the number of autosomal arms (FNa) was 60. C-positive regions appeared to be restricted to the centromeric regions of autosomes 1, and 13-18, and ...

DOI : 10 . 9775 / kvfd . 2009 . 1037 C - Banded Karyotype and Nucleolar Organizer Regions ( NORs ) of Marsh Frog , Rana ridibunda ( Ranidae : Anura ) in Central Anatolia

Karyotype, C-banding and nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) characteristics of nine Rana ridibunda samples collected from Konya (Meram, Beyşehir, Hadim) province were examined. The diploid number of chromosomes (2n) and the fundamental number of chromosome arms (FN) were determined as 26 and 52, respectively. All of the chromosomes of this species have centromeric constitutive heterochromatin (...
