Karyotype Of Crossbred Progeny Born To The Interspecies Hybridization Of Wild And Zebu Cattle With Reference To Their Fertility And Growth Performance, Nussara Vadhanakul, Wanchai Tunwattana, Panpilai Sekkasiddhi, Montakarn Tansatit, Vivat Chavananikul

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Karyotypes of the crossbred progeny of wild and zebu cattle, born from the insemination of zebu dams with deep frozen semen from gaur (Bos gaurus) and banteng (Bos javanicus) sires were studied. The crossbred progeny (F1) born from the gaur sire and zebu dams revealed a diploid chromosome number of 2n=58. Fifty-four acrocentric and 2 submetacentric autosomes were found, sex chromosomes being submetacentric and metacentric in the male and submetacentric in the female. Two types of chromosomes with a complement of 2n=59 and 2n=58, were found in the crossbred progeny (F1) of the banteng sire and zebu dams. Robertsonian translocation …


A Karyological Analysis Of Garra Rufa (Heckel, 1843) (Pisces, Cyprinidae) From The Eastern Mediterranean River Basin In Turkey, Serap Ergene Gözükara, Tolga Çavaş Jan 2004

A Karyological Analysis Of Garra Rufa (Heckel, 1843) (Pisces, Cyprinidae) From The Eastern Mediterranean River Basin In Turkey, Serap Ergene Gözükara, Tolga Çavaş

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

A cytogenetic investigation on 12 Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) specimens, from Müftü stream, was carried out by a slight modification of the conventional air-dried technique, using gill epithelial cells. The diploid chromosome number of this species was 2n = 44, comprising 22 metacentric and 20 submetacentric chromosomes and 2 acrocentric chromosome carrying satellites (NF = 85). A haploid idiogram, based on the chromosome measurements, was prepared. A detailed standard karyotype of G. rufa was established for the first time in this study.


Karyotype Analysis In Alburnus Heckeli (Battalgil, 1943) From Lake Hazer, Süleyman Gül, Ahmet Çolak, İlhan Sezgi̇n, Bertal Kaloğlu Jan 2004

Karyotype Analysis In Alburnus Heckeli (Battalgil, 1943) From Lake Hazer, Süleyman Gül, Ahmet Çolak, İlhan Sezgi̇n, Bertal Kaloğlu

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Karyotype analysis was performed on Alburnus heckeli (Battalgil, 1943) (Fam: Cyprinidae) by investigating the number and structures of its chromosomes. The fish used in this study were caught with fishing nets in Lake Hazer and were taken to our laboratory. Fish were injected intraperitoneally with doses of 0.01 ml/g body weight of 0.6% colchicine solution and left for 190 min before sacrificing. It was determined by metaphase investigation that A. heckeli has 2n = 50 chromosomes. Its karyotypes were determined to be composed of 7 metacentric, 9 submetacentric and 9 acrocentric chromosome pairs with NF = 82. We were unable …


Karyotype Analyses Of The Tench (Tinca Tinca L., 1758) Living In Lake Mogan (Ankara), Mustafa Hamalosmanoğlu, Mustafa Kuru Jan 2004

Karyotype Analyses Of The Tench (Tinca Tinca L., 1758) Living In Lake Mogan (Ankara), Mustafa Hamalosmanoğlu, Mustafa Kuru

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Chromosome numbers and structures were investigated in (Tinca tinca L., 1758) of the family Cyprinidae. A solution of 1 ml/100 g of 0.1% colchicine was injected intramuscularly. Four hours later the fish were killed and the kidney and gills were removed and cytogenetic methods were applied. Metaphase chromosomes of the cells in these tissues were investigated numerically and morphologically. It was determined that the fish have 2n = 48 diploid chromosomes made up of 6 pairs of metacentric, 8 pairs of subtelocentric and 10 pairs of acrocentric. The average haploid chromosome length was 2.191 µ. The chromosomes were named and …
