Abstract
A total of 105 specimens of the genus Mus collected from Ankara, Bartın, Bolu, Düzce and Zonguldak in Turkey were biometrically evaluated. The isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme system along with karyotypes of 37 specimens were analysed. The zygomatic index and the index of head plus body length/tail length were diagnostic characters for Mus domesticus and Mus macedonicus. Starch gel electrophoresis gave 2 loci (Idh-1 and Idh-2) for the isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme system. Two alleles (Idh-1100 and Idh-1105) of the Idh-1 locus were determined in M. domesticus and M. macedonicus. M. domesticus and M. macedonicus have the same karyological values 2n = 40, NFa = 38 and NF = 40.
Özet
Ankara, Batın. Bolu, Düzce ve Zonguldak’tan toplanan 105 Mus örne¤i de¤erlendirildi. Bu örneklerden 37 tanesinin izositrat dehidrogenaz enzim sistemi özellikleri ve karyotipleri analiz edildi, Zygomatik indeksin (ZI), bafl ve beden uzunlu¤u/kuyruk uzunlu¤u (H+B/T) indeksi Mus domesticus ve Mus macedonicus için ayırıcı özellikte oldu¤u saptandı. Niflasta jel elektroforezi izositrat dehidrogenaz enzim sisteminde iki lokusu (Idh-1 ve Idh-2) ortaya çıkardı. Hem M. domesticus hem de M. macedonicus’ta ‹dh-1 lokusunda iki alel (Idh-1100 ve Idh-1105 ) tespit edildi. M. domesticus ve M. macedonicus 2n = 40, NFa = 38 ve NF = 40 de¤erlerine sahiptir.
