Abstract
The chromosomes of the Arabian camel or the one humped camel, Camelus dromedarius, L. have been studied using cell cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes. Using C-banding technique, the diploid chromosome number for the C. dromedarius was found to be 74, with a karyotype consisting of 62 acrocentric, 8 metacentric and 2 submetacentric autosomes. The X chromosome is large, metacentric and the Y chromosome is a small metacentric sex chromosome. The fundamental number has been calculated to be 86 chromosomes.
