Abstract
A detailed analysis of rabbit mitotic chromosomes stained with quinacrine and Trypsin-Giemsa methods to elucidate the Q and G bands is presented. Each of the 21 pairs of autosomes can be identified unequivocally. The sex chromosomes can also be distinguished from the autosomes. The X chromosome is a medium length submetacentric with its own distinctive banding pattern. The Y chromosome is the smallest acrocentric chromosome and fluoresces with a medium intensity.Keywords
