karyotype of river loach turcinoemacheilus kosswigi from the euphrates river, turkey was investigated using conventional giemsa-staining and c-banding. two females and two males were analyzed. diploid chromosome number was 2n= 50 in all specimens. the karyotype consisted of four pairs of metacentric (m), seven pairs of submeta (sm)-subtelocentric (st) and 14 pairs of acrocentric (a) chromosomes...

the laboratory mouse is recognized as the pre-eminent model for genetic research. awareness of chromosomal patterns of experimental animals increases their value for a variety of different fields of study. we aimed to study mitotic chromosome preparations from nih, c57bl/6 and razi strains of mice, which are outbred, inbred and partially inbred laboratory mice respectively. bone marrow cells we...

The chromosome numbers and karyotypes of five species the genus Bellevalia distributed in Turkey were analyzed. These taxa are B. anatolica Mathew & Özhatay, fominii Woronow, kurdistanica Feinbrun, rixii Wendelbo, turcica Pınar Eroğlu. Three them (B. anatolica, turcica) endemic Turkey. all studied determeined as 2n=2x=8. Haploid lengths varied from 57.78 µm fominii) to 68.17 anatolica) among sp...
