Amounts of nuclear DNA in anurans of the USSR.
The amounts of nuclear DNA in blood erythrocytes of 18 species of Anura from the USSR have been determined to be in the range of 4.0--20.6 pg (10(-12) g). Brown frogs of genus Rana have lower mean genome sizes than green frogs. Palaearctic Anura, as a whole, have a greater content of nuclear DNA than the species of the same families from regions further south.
