The karyotypes of the gekkonids were serially graded from the largest to the smallest in the diploid complement. The majority of the chromosomes were subtelocentric. The diploid number was 2n = 38 in Gekko gecko and 2n = 40 in the three species of the genus Hemidactylus examined. A comparative morphometric analysis of the diploid sets of these four members suggested a cytotaxonomic relationship and a possible mode of speciation in this group of reptiles.
壁虎科动物的核型在二倍体组中按从大到小的顺序依次排列。大多数染色体为亚端着丝粒染色体。大壁虎的二倍体数目为2n = 38，在所研究的半叶趾虎属的三个物种中，二倍体数目为2n = 40。对这四个成员的二倍体组进行比较形态测量分析，揭示了这组爬行动物的细胞分类学关系和可能的物种形成模式。
