Abstract:
Echymipera kalabu (Peramelidae: Marsupialia) does not have the full chromosome complement in all its adult somatic tissues. The chromosomes missing are the Y-chromosome in the male and an X-chromosome in the female. The full complement is present in the corneal epithelium and the reproductive tissue. A parallel mosaicism to this exists with respect to small supernumerary chromosomes which are found in certain animals of this species. These supernumeraries must be subject to the same control system as that which is responsible for the elimination of the sex chromosomes.
