Chromosome staining/banding/FISH
AgNORs found on chromosome pairs 24, 25, 27. Interstitial markings evidenced in long arms of pairs 1 (m), 13 (sm) and were only centromeric in pairs 4, 9 and 11 (m). Pairs 7 and 8 (m) showed bi-telomeric markings and pairs 6 (m) and 20 (sm) showed centromeric and telomeric markings in only one arm. AgNORs were all C-band positive and located in terminal portions of chromosomes.
