RESUMEN

Karyotype analysis was carried out on quails using the peripheral lymphocyte culture techniques,and G-banding patterns were obtained with trypsin and Giemsa. The results showed that the quail had a diploid number of 78, with 10 pairs of macrochromosomes including the sex-chromosomes and 29 pairs of microchromosomes. NO.1 chromosome was submetacentric, NO.2 and Z chromosome were metacentric,and the others were telocentric, which was slightly different from the results of others. Additionally,analysis of G-banding patterns for macrochromosomes indicated that they were divided into 27 zones and 134 bands.
