A chromosomic study of Chamelea gallina (L.) (Bivalvia, Veneridae)

The chromosome complement of Chamelea gallina is n = 19 and 2n = 38. In both males and females meiosis shows chiasmata. Karyotype mainly contains submetacentric and metacentric chromosomes. No heterotypic or supernumerary chromosomes result from the analysis of meiotic and of mitotic chromosomes.
