| Importance | ||
| Remarks | 1–2 B chromosomes observed in some individuals. 18S rDNA site present on one sm chromosome pair, along with two more sites. One pair bears 5S rDNA site. (GA)15 and (CA)15 microsatellite mapping showed scattered signals and a remarkable accumulation in subtelomeric regions of all chromosomes. |
