Structural organization of chromosomes of the Indian muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak)

Abstract
The identification, morphology, and banding pattern of the chromosomes of the Indian muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak) are described. A diagrammatic representation of the banding pattern as revealed by various techniques is presented following the nomenclature suggested by Paris Conference (1971) for human chromosomes. The Y2 chromosome and the neck of the X chromosome are late replicating based on observations made with the use of a bromodeoxyuridine plus Giemsa technique. Most of the G-bands are early replicating, contrary to earlier findings based on autoradiography.
