한국산 논우렁이 (논우렁이과)의 세포학적 연구

Cytological Studies of Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata ( MESOGASTROPODA : Viviparidae ) in Korea

The chromosome of Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata Chunchon area in 1988 was analysed by using aceto-orcein squash techniques of spermatogonial tissues to obtain mitotic and meiotic chromosomes. The chromosome cycle did not differ, in general, from that found in other snails, C. chinensis malleata has 18 diploid chromosomes and they were identified and classified into 2 groups. The mitotic chromosome complement of this species consists of 2 pairs of metacentric and 7 pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, Spermatogonial metaphase chromosomes range in length from 4.10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for the largest pair to 2.20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for the smallest pair.
