Karyotype 2n=82, autosomes 80 subtelocentrics and acrocentrics, sex chromosomes X submetacentric, Y acrocentric. Most of the longer autosomes possess a short second arm, but it is difficult to draw a line where subtelocentrics end and acrocentrics begin. Arbitrarily, the first row of 10 pairs c...

White Rhino
Skin biopsies were grown from two animals of southern race at San Diego Zoo. Pairing of chromosomes is arbitrary. Karyotype found was 2n=84. Previously this species is reported to have a karyotype of 2n=82, with one less submetacentric pair (Heinichen). 2n= 84. Autosomes: 18 submetacentrics,...

Indian Rhino
Three papers have discussed the chromosomes in Rhinocerotidae, i.e. Heinichen on Ceratotherium simum, Hungerford et al. on Diceros bicornis and Wurster et al on Rhinoceros unicornis. The last two papers could not identify the sex chromosomes with certainty. The karyotype of 3 further specimens ...

Results were for Diceros bicornis : 2n=84, with 4 metacentric pairs, 37 acrocentric pairs. For Ceratotherium simum : 2n=82, with 0 metacentric pairs and 40 acrocentric pairs. The sex chromosomes of the rhinos resemble those of the horse.

Female in Washington zoo. Diploid number determined to be 82. 10-12 pairs of chromosomes appear to have subterminal and all the rest terminal centromeres. The autoradiographs showed one of the largest chromosomes, and the most metacentric of the complement, to be late labelling. This pair is ...

Adult female. Modal number of chromosomes was 84. The diploid number of 84 is the highest yet recorded in a mammal. 5 distinct groups: a pair of large chromosomes with nearly median centromeres; three pairs of smaller chromosomes gain with nearly median centromeres; a group of 9 pairs of long ...

The results were obtained by studying spreads prepared from bonemarrow biopsies taken while the animals were chemically immobilized. 33 good spreads were examined prepared from 1 male and 1 female and is supported by counts of leukocyte cultures. The chromosome number is found to be 2n = 82. T...
