Abstract
DNA cytophotometry was used to obtain the relative DNA content of mitotic chromosomes of Orytolagus cuniculus. DNA ranking of the rabbit chromosomes is presented, and related to the quinacrine and Giemsa-banded karyotype. In addition, the relative DNA content of the short and long arms of each chromosome was calculated and the DNA-based centromeric index, (i.e., the ratio of long-arm DNA to total chromosomal DNA) determined. The Y chromosome is clearly a submetacentric chromosome on the basis of the DNA measurements.Keywords
