Interordinal conservatism of chromosome banding patterns in Gallus domesticus (Galliformes) and Melopsittacus undulatus (Psittaciformes).
Chromosome banding homologies were studied between the domestic chicken, Gallus domesticus (Galliformes), and the budgerigar, Melopsittacus undulatus (Psittaciformes). In spite of large karyological differences, the G-banding patterns were found to be conserved to a considerable extent between the two species. There were some differences in C- and Hoechst 33258/Q-banding patterns.
