Abstract: | Summary Calamoichthys calabaricus, Polypterus palmas, P. weeksii, P. delhezi andP. ornatipinnis have the same amount of DNA per erythrocyte nucleus. The karyotype ofP. weeksii has 38 chromosomes and differs from the karyotypes of the other species, all with 36 chromosomes, by a Robertsonian chromosomal rearrangement. The karyotype condition is regarded as derived for vertebrates.Research supported by the Division of Human Genetics, K.U. Leuven, Belgium and the UNAZA, campus Kinshasa, Zaire. The Department of Human Genetics, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, provided facilities for cytophotometry. |
