Table 1.
Chromosome counts (1N) for eight metaphase spreads from gill (mitotic) and eight metaphase spreads from testes (meiotic metaphase 1)
| Tissue | Replicate count
|
|||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | |
| Gill | 77 (154) | ~82 (163) | 82 (164) | 82 (164) | 82 (164) | ~82 (165) | 85 (170) | ~89 (177) |
| Testes | 97 | 97 | 98 | 98 | 99 | 99 | 99 | 101 |
Gill and testes chromosomes were prepared from the same animal. Raw chromosome counts are given in parentheses for gill; note that sister chromatids are paired at meiotic metaphase 1. Modal values are presented in italics
