Abstract
A study of the chromosomes in the pig has shown no evidence of different chromosome numbers in different varieties. 2n=40 is the correct chromosome number both for the “Old Swedish” and for other pig varieties. The production of experimental polyploids in mammals is considered as a definite possibility. But the establishment of chromosome constancy in different varieties makes it doubtful that an experimental polyploid has been produced in the pig.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
