Abstract
SUMMARYParallel polymorphisms for B chromosome and supernumerary segments on M6, S9 and S10 pairs have been detected in two Argentinian populations of Dichroplus elongatus, Raco (RA) and Tafi Viejo (TV) (Tucuman Province). All these polymorphisms seem to be temporally stable. In all samples of TV, it was observed a tendency towards an excess of the B + SS6 class. SS6 produces a total restriction of chiasma formation in proximal position in the involved pair in heterozygous and homozygous males. In TV a consistent dose effect of B chromosome on interstitial chiasma (Xi) frequency was detected in males. The Xi frequency vs. number of supernumeraries plot fits to a linear regression. In both populations, the individuals with B's showed a significant increase in macro- and microspermatid production. This effect is more marked at RA. The cytophotometric analysis of DNA content revealed that in both types of males, B and non B carriers, most macrospermatids are diploid suggesting a probably origin by cytokinesi...
