| Sex chromosome |
Female corresponds to 28m+25sm+1st karyotype. Difference in male/female karyotype indicate ZZ/ZW sex |
| Chromosome staining/banding/FISH |
C-banding revealed small amounts of heterochromatic at pericentromeric region of some autosomes. Terminal C-bands on p arm of one homologous of pair 17 observed. W chromosome presented a large heterochromatic block comprising nearly the entire q arm. Z chromosome characterized by a small heterochromatin segment from middle to distal position on q arms. |
