The diploid number of chromosomes (2n) is 42, the fundamental number (FN) is 8 1, the number of autosomal arms (NFa) is 78. C-banding positive regions appeared to be restricted to the pericentromeric regions in all autosome chromosome pairs and the X chromosome. The relative amount of C-positive heterochromatin is 28.9 % of the total length of the set. Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs), identified by the silver-staining technique, were found on the terminal region of the short arm of three pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSpermophilus xanthoprymnuskaryotypeC-bandingNORsArticle543278284WOS:000232764900007N/A
