Zusammenfassung

34 von 35 Schlangenarten, die bei uns geprüft wurden, haben eine doppelte Nummer 36. Nur eine Art,Elaphe subocularis, hat eine doppelte Nummer 40. Die Chromosomen vonE. subocularis, E. obsoleta, E. guttata, undCrotalus molossus sind beschrieben, und mögliche Evolutionsveränderungen sind angenommen. Alle vier Arten haben einZZ/ZW-Geschlechtschromosomensystem. Karyotypische Glasplättchen wurden durch eine in vivo Technik hergestellt, die in allen Einzelheiten beschrieben ist.
