title: On the banding patterns of the chromosomes of the Pudu pudu (PUDU).
abstract: The cytogenetic study of the Pudu Pudu (Pudu) shows a diploid number of 70 chromosomes (2n = 70). We present here for the first time data on their banding pattern which reveal peculiars C-bands and allow precise identification of the chromosomal set. Homozygous expression of an autosomal fragile sites was found in the largest acrocentric pair.
