Abstract:
Linkage relationships of nine enzyme loci; aconitase (Acon ), esterase (Est), glucosephosphate isomerase A and B ( Gpi), glycerate-2-dehydrogenase (G2dh), malic enzyme (Me ), phosphoglycerate kinase (Pgk), phosphoglucomutase (Pgm ) and superoxide dismutase (Sod), were investigated in sunfishes (Lepomis, Centrarchidae). Reciprocal F(1) hybrids produced from crosses between green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) and redear sunfish ( L. microlophus) were backcrossed with each of the two parental species. A three-point linkage map comprising G2dh, Pgk and Sod is reported. The frequencies of recombination between G2dh and Pgk and between Pgk and Sod are estimated as 45.3 and 24.7%. The remaining six loci assort independently. Possible linkage conservation and homology of this linkage group with those of other vertebrate species are discussed.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops resemble the...
