Chromosome staining/banding/FISH | Multiple NORs found but differing in the type of chromosome pairs. Ag-NOR observed in terminal portion of p-arms of pair 9 and one chromosome of pair 10 (Dourados population). Ag-NOR found in terminal regions of p-arms of chromosome pairs 11 and 15 and only on single chromosome of pair 5 (Maringá population). Three NOR signals found on terminal regions of short arms of only single chromosomes to pairs 3 (metacentric), 5 and 9 (submetacentric) (Ximbaúva population). |
