Unveiling The Chromosomal Blueprint Of Horses: A Comprehensive Guide To Their Genetic Makeup
Horses have a diploid number of 64 chromosomes, comprising two sets of 32 chromosomes inherited from their parents. During gamete formation, the chromosome number reduces to 32 (haploid) to maintain genetic diversity. Karyotyping, the study of chromosome structure and number, reveals the horse’s typical karyotype of 32 autosomes and two sex chromosomes (X and Y)….
