Abstract

Abstract The number of microchromosomes varied from 0 to 7 within and between individuals, the most frequent number being 1, 2 or 3. Animals with 0 or more than 4 microchromosomes were less common. We found that a mosaic karyotype was present in 85% of the animals. The higher the average number of microchromosomes in the animal the greater was the variation in the number in the somatic cells of the same animal. The average number of microchromosomes in the offspring could be predicted from the number found in the parents.
