A pair of subtelocentric chromosomes differs in the size of the short arm in male, but not female, rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). The morphological similarity of the X and Y chromosomes, and the observation of Y chromosomes intermediate between the X and normal Y, suggest that the sex chromosomes are at an early stage of differentiation in this species.
在雄性虹鳟鱼(Salmo gairdneri)中,一对亚中着丝粒染色体的短臂大小不同,但雌性中则没有这种差异。X染色体和Y染色体在形态上相似,并且观察到Y染色体处于X染色体和正常Y染色体之间的中间状态,这表明该物种的性染色体正处于分化的早期阶段。
