Geographical Karyotypic Variations and Chromosome Banding Patterns inTropidurus Hispidus(Sauria, Iguanidae) from Brazil [PDF]
SUMMARYKaryotypic data are presented for Tropidurus hispidus (Sauria, Iguanidae) collected at six different localities in Brazil. The specimens from all the populations share the same basic 2n = 36 karyotype characterized by 12 macrochromosomes and 24 microchromosomes. The X is an acrocentric microchromosome and the Y, a minute microchromosome.
