The North American Woodchuck has 38 diploid chromosomes. There are 12 metacentric pairs and the Y-chromosome is the smallest element of the complement. Sex chromatin could not be identified with certainty in histologic sections from the major organs.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
