Synapsis in supernumerary chromosomes of Prochilodus lineatus (Teleostei: Prochilodontidae) [PDF]
Caryologia, 1998 Summary Meiotic analysis performed on a sample of 10 specimens of Prochilodus lineatus revealed continuous filaments of different sizes stained by AgNO3, corresponding to the bivalent of the normal complement. Small supernumerary chromosomes were observed as isolated and well stained bodies, scattered among the other elements.
