Chromosomal mapping of TleSatDNAs on metaphase plates of T. rufiventris (TRU ♀F01). While the Z chromosome was identified by its distinct morphology (i.e.: the only metacentric macrochromosome), the W chromosome was appropriately identified after a sequential C-banding, which provides a unique and distinctive pattern for this chromosome. The Z and W sex chromosomes are indicated. Bar 10 μm.
