Abstract
The karyotype of the Armenian hamster, C. migratorius, was studied using trypsin-Giemsa and fluorescence banding techniques. Chromosome measurements were made on 50 metaphases and the idiogram was constructed. The diploid number of 22 chromosomes can be identified individually based on their banding patterns, size and centromeric position. Chromosome 1 is the largest and chromosome 10 is the smallest in the complement. The X and Y chromosomes are similar in size with distinct banding patterns.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
