The karyotype of the rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is compared to that of different primates, including man. Considerable homology exists in the banding patterns of most chromosomes. Some fifty structural rearrangements differentiate the rabbit and the human karyotypes. The rabbit karyotype seems to have remained more ancestral than the human.
将兔(穴兔属)的核型与包括人类在内的不同灵长类动物的核型进行了比较。大多数染色体的带型存在相当程度的同源性。约五十种结构重排使兔和人类的核型有所不同。兔的核型似乎比人类的核型保留了更多的祖先特征。
