One region. 2 G-bands; a subcentromeric negative band (11) followed by a positive telomere (12). 2 R-bands; a subcentromeric positive band (11) followed by a negative telomere (12).

One region. 6 G-bands; a subcentromeric negative band (11) followed by a narrow positive band (12), a narrow negative band (13), and a large positive band (14). Bands 12 and 14 are often joined. A narrow negative band (15) is followed by a large positive telomere (16). 6 R-bands; a subcentromeric positive band (11) followed by two large positive bands often joined (13 and 15). Two narrow negative bands (12 and 14) separate the positive bands. There is a negative telomere (16) not always visible.

One region. 3 G-bands; a subcentromeric positive band (11) followed by a negative band (12) and a positive telomere (13). 2 R-bands; a subcentromeric positive band (11) followed by a negative telomere (12).

One region. 3 G-bands; a subcentromeric negative band (11) followed by a prominent positive band (12, often showing two sub-bands) and a large negative telomere (13). 4 R-bands; a subcentromeric negative band (11) followed by positive band (12), a negative band (13) and a positive telomere (14).

Two regions. 7 G-bands; Region 1 has two prominent positive bands (11 and 13) separated by a narrow negative band (12). Region 2 is set off from region 1 by a prominent negative band (21). There are two positive bands (22 and 24) separated by a narrow negative band (23). 7 R-bands;

Two regions. 8 G-bands; Region 1 has a subcentromeric negative band (11) and three positive bands (12, 14 and 16) separated by 2 narrow negative bands (13 and 15). Bands 14 and 16 are often joined in more condensed chromosomes. Region 2 has a prominent negative band (21) in the distal half of the chromosome terminated by a narrow positive telomere (22). Band 21 is the characteristic large heterochromatic region (5. in the General section above). 7 R-bands; Region 1 contains two large positive bands: one subcentromeric (11), and one central (13), separated by a narrow negative band (12). A narrow negative band (14) is followed by a wide positive band (21) which begins Region 2. Band 21 is followed by a negative band (22) and a positive narrow telomere (23) not always visible.

One region. 4 G-bands; a negative subcentromeric band (11) followed by two positive bands (12 and 14) that are separated by a narrow negative band (13). 3 R-bands; two small positive bands, one of which is subcentromeric (11) and the other of which is telomeric (13), separated by a narrow negative band (12).

One region. 4 G-bands; a subcentromeric negative band (11) followed by a positive band (12) and a narrow negative band (13); a positive telomere (14). 3 R-bands; two positive bands (11 and 13) separated by a narrow negative band (12).
