Chromosomes of Rattus rams fmg'voms (Raf.) collected in seven populations of the Iberian Peninsula were examined. Karyological analysis revealed a poly morphism caused by structural changes in chromcsome pairs Nrs 14, 16 and 18, possibly due to pericentric inversions. 41 specimens had Pair 14 homomo

β¦ Synopsis
Inversion frequencies in chromosomes 16 and 18 and B-chromosome frequency have been studied in three populations of Rattus rattus frugivorus.
In two of these, Cuenca and San Pedro del Pinatar, the frequencies of homozygous and heterozygous individuals do not differ significantly from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for both chromosome pairs. By contrast, in the Vega de Granada population there are fewer heterozygous and more homozygous individuals than expected on the basis of the Hardy-Weinberg distribution, although the frequency distributions of karyotypes in these three populations are not significantly different.
In relation to the B chromosome, the Cuenca and San Pedro populations have frequencies of B-carrying animals of 0.25 and 0.22 respectively, the Vega de Granada population of 0.80.
