Gels and Genetics: The Historical Impact of Isozymes on Paradigm ... by Haufler, Christopher H. / American Fern Journal Statistical analysis of relative length and arm ratio revealed that, this species had a normal diploid chromosome number of 2n = 38, and the karyotype consists of 15 pairs of metacentric (M) and 4 pairs of submetacentric (SM) chromosomes, NF = 76.
