Figure 5

Schematic representation of the possible formation of the chromosomal chain in Symphysodon aequifasciatus and S. haraldi meiotic cells (n represents the other chromosomal pairs evolved in the multiple meiosis). (a) Simple and heterozygous translocations involving small segments of some chromosomal pairs. (b) Chromosomal elements derived from translocations. (c) Meiotic configuration of the chromosomal chain caused by multiple and serial translocations.
