Abstract

Akodon mollis (Rodentia, Cricetldae) has a large subterminal Y chromosome measuring 5.24 percent of the haplold set. The long arm of the Y has a pattern of homology with the short arm of the X, as Indicated by the similar distribution of G bands and by the formation of a chiasma in diakinesis and metaphase 1 of teste cells. Conversely, the short arm of the Y and the long arm of the X are nonhomologous and do not pair at meiosis.
