Abstract
Open-access reader
The G-banded karyotype of the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) shows G-band patterns of the macrochromosomes that are identical with those of the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). The evolutionary relationship between the pheasant and the turkey and some other Galliformes species is discussed.
