Abstract
A cytogenetic investigation on 12 Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) specimens, from Müftü stream, was carried out by a slight modification of the conventional air-dried technique, using gill epithelial cells. The diploid chromosome number of this species was 2n = 44, comprising 22 metacentric and 20 submetacentric chromosomes and 2 acrocentric chromosome carrying satellites (NF = 85). A haploid idiogram, based on the chromosome measurements, was prepared. A detailed standard karyotype of G. rufa was established for the first time in this study.
Özet
Bu çal›flmada Müftü deresinden yakalanan 12 Garra rufa örne¤inin solungaç epitel hücrelerinde Havada Kurutma Yöntemi de¤iflikli¤e u¤rat›larak bir sitogenetik inceleme yap›lm›flt›r. Karyotipik analiz sonucunda G. rufa’n›n 2n = 44 kromozom say›s›na ve 22 Metasentrik, 20 Submetasentrik, satellit tafl›yan 2 Akrosentrik kromozoma sahip oldu¤u tespit edilmifltir (NF = 85). Haploit idiogram, kromozom ölçümleri yap›larak haz›rlanm›flt›r. Bu çal›flmada G. rufa’n›n karyotipi ilk kez detayl› olarak tan›mlanm›flt›r.
