[Supernumerary chromosomes, segmental duplications, and evolution].
The present study depicts the phenomenon of supernumerary chromosomes as autonomous genome elements, similar in features with segmental duplications. Possible role of B chromosomes in evolution and the reasons of their nonrandom distribution in different mammalian taxa are discussed.
