Abstract
Normal as well as dwarf female cattle had 60 chromosomes, 29 telocentric auto-some pairs and 1 submedian metacentric X pair, without revealing any difference in the karyotype between the two. Male normal cattle had 29 telocentric autosome pairs, a submedian X and a median metacentric Y chromosome. It was considered that the character of dwarflsm is not reflected in the karyotype being due to a single autosomal gene mutation.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
