Abstract
Seminiferous tubules from the testes of 6 ranch-bred mink (Mustela vison) revealed a diploid chromosome number of 28. 13 pairs can be matched as if they are homologous and the 2 chromosomes of the 14th pair are notably different though both have a satellite and other features in common. This pair may represent the sex chromosomes.Keywords
