Q
  1. Describe the chromosome number in squirrel monkeys.
A

2n = 44

Vary in number of acrocentric chromosomes (5-7), thought to be due to pericentric inversions.

Karyotyping is critically important because:

  1. Species and subspecies vary in susceptibility to both naturally and experimentally-induced disease.
  2. Interbreeding between different species or subspecies can lead to heterozygosity for pericentric inversions leading to non-viable gametes due to meiotic cross-over events at the inversion. Up to 50% of hybrid squirrel monkey conceptions could be non-viable.
