Figure 9.2 RBG karyotype of a male Gazella ga,ella cora (20 = 35)<br />
The difference in fundamental number (FN) between C. gazella (FN = 62) and C.<br />
subgutturo<strong>sa</strong> (FN = 60) may be due to the short arm in pair 13 of C. gazella. These arms are difficult<br />
to see on banded chromosomes but are easily observed on non-differentially stained karyotypes of C.<br />
gazella. Based on C-banding analyses (Figure 9.3). these short arms are not heterochromatic. The<br />
fundamental number for other species in the family Bovidae is usually 58 to 62 (Wurster and<br />
Benirschke, 1968).<br />
