Figure 10From: Cytogenetic analysis of Phyllomedusa distincta Lutz, 1950 (2n = 2x = 26), P. tetraploidea Pombal and Haddad, 1992 (2n = 4x = 52), and their natural triploid hybrids (2n = 3x = 39) (Anura, Hylidae, Phyllomedusinae)Giemsa stained karyotypes. a. embryo obtained in the laboratory, derived from cross between triploid and diploid specimens, with 26 chromosomes + fragment. b. tadpole collected in nature, most likely derived from cross between triploid and tetraploid specimens, with 45 chromosomes. Bar = 10 μm.Back to article page
