of genomes (see Appendix 2) without demonstrating a clear evolutionary
connection between the number of chromosomes and the specificity of
organisms or the complexity of their organization.
From the data of Appendix 2 it is seen that the haploid chromosome
set (1n) varies in large proportions in the various types of organisms from 1
to 520. The apprehensions of some authors regarding the virtual nonexistence
of a minimum chromosome set of only one chromosome (1n = 1)
in eukaryotes proved to be in vain. Crosland and Grozier (1986)
demonstrated the availability of such a genome in Australian ant Myrmecia
pilosula (Fig. 2\u201319). According to these authors a report of one
chromosome in the nematode Parascaris equorum univalens<\/em> was
presented by T. Boveri even in 1887, but has remained unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure 2\u201319. Chromosomes from prepupal cerebral ganglia: (A) Worker ant \nprometaphase chromosomes. Identical C-banding provides evidence for \nhomology of the two chromosomes; (B) Male prometaphase chromosome. \nChromosomes consistently display a large centromeric C-band on the short \narm and a smaller centromeric C-band on the long arm. Most of the short \narm C-band is not immediately adjacent to the centromere, though a very \nsmall portion of the short-arm C-band is centromeric. Arrows indicate \nposition of centromere (After Crosland and Grozier, 1986).<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Genomes consisting of two chromosomes (1n = 2) are known in the
parasitic round worms (Ascaris<\/em>), the green alga spirogyra (Spirogyra weberi<\/em>),
yeasts (Saccharomyces pombe<\/em>), the scorpio (Tityus bahiensis<\/em>), etc. The
genomes of the orders from 10 to 30 chromosomes are prevalent however.
Huge deviations are observed in amoeba (Amoeba proteus<\/em>), the crawfish
(Astacus trowbridgei<\/em>) and the snake fern (Ophioglossum petiolatum<\/em>), where
the chromosome number is respectively 250, 188 and 520.
In Figure 2\u201320 is presented the cytological picture of a cell from
through hawksbeard (Crepis capilaris<\/em>) with a diploid chromosome set
consisting of 6 chromosomes or 3 homologous pairs. Except diploid as was
already mentioned, the chromosome set can be triploid (3n), tetraploid (4n)
or polyploid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
