A cytogenetic survey in 10 black rats (Rattus rattus), captured in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, revealed a 42 chromosomal complement (Asian type) in all of them. Polymorphism due to pericentric inversions of chromosomes 9, 11 and 13, as well as a homomorphic subtelocentric pair 1, permitted further karyotypic distinction. An Asian origin of this rat with a subsequent isolated evolution in Mexico is concluded.
在墨西哥哈利斯科州瓜达拉哈拉捕获的10只黑鼠(褐家鼠)的细胞遗传学调查显示,它们全部具有42条染色体的核型(亚洲类型)。由于9号、11号和13号染色体的臂间倒位以及同态亚端着丝粒对1导致的多态性,使得核型有了进一步的区分。得出结论,这种老鼠起源于亚洲,随后在墨西哥独立进化。
