Abstract

Karyotype of two rodent species, Cricetulus migratorius and Jaculus jaculus were studied from Jordan. Jaculus jaculus karyotype was found to be 2n=48, NFa= 88, while the autosomes consist of five metcentric, 14 submetacenteric and four acrocentric pairs of chromosomes. For Cricetulus migratorius, the karyotype was found to be 2n= 22, NFa= and NF=40, while the autosomes consist of three telocentric, four metacenteric and four acrocentric pairs of chromosomes.
