C-banding identified centromeric heterochromatin polymorphism, most often located in a pair no 16, was a basis for selecting animals for the experiment.The aim of the experiment was to assess the impact of centromeric heterochromatin polymorphism on pig fertility, expressed by litter size.The research included the first two litters obtained from 30 pairs of parent with different genotypes as regards the parameter under study.A statistical analysis of the number of offspring from different mating types showed no significant differences between the experimental groups of animals.The results obtaned did not confirm suggested correlation between polymorphism of the centromeric heterochromatin regons and pig fertility, estimated by mean size.Thus the polymorphism cannot be regarded as a selection criterion.

Cytogenetic studies, carried out between 1978 - 1998 at the National Research Institute of Animal Production resulted in identification of several chromosomal aberrations as follows: chromosomal chimerism XX/XY in cattle, sheep and horses, Robertsonian translocations and sex chromosome trisomy in cattle, reciprocal translocations in pigs and sheep, pericentric inversion in pigs. The influence of Robertsonian and reciprocal translocations on fertility of aberration carriers was evaluated and economic losses in pigs due to decreased fertility were calculated. In the light of these results it is advisable to continue cytogenetic control of farm animals in Poland, mainly males being used in reproduction.

The aim of this study was to analyse homology in the telomeric region of chromosome 11 in humans and a corresponding fragment in the porcine genome using the FISH technique. The human band specific probe (HSA 11p15) was used for hybridization with pig chromosomes. The obtained results showed strong signals on human chromosome 11p15, as well as pig chromosome 2p17. Some aspects of the similarity between the human and pig chromosome segments have been discussed.

Karyotypes of the aoudad and sheep were compared on the basis of G-banded chromosomes at the 450 band level. The common G-banded karyotype showed the homology of all aoudad chromosomes (2n=58) with sheep chromosomes (2n=54) or sheep chromosome arms. The results of cytogenetic investigations suggest that in this case karyotype evolution has led to reduction in chromosome number as a result of centric fusions. The formation of the first metacentric chromosome occurred in the aoudad. The homology of the G-banding pattern in sheep and aoudad suggests the conservation in linear arrangement of genetic material. Thus comparative cytogenetics can be a useful tool in gene mapping.

Two cattle chromosome painting probes, identifying X and Y heterosomes, were applied to verify the diagnosis of XXY trisomy in an 8-month-old bull of the Polish Red breed. The probes were obtained after chromosome microdissection and labelled with biotin-16-dUTP. In all metaphase spreads, three fluorescence signals were observed - two X and one Y - confirming the diagnosis of a pure XXY trisomy.
