Two C2bands on X chromosome were distinguished, a distinct one on the kinetochore, and a pale one on the short arm in the metaphase chromosome of the male Microtus m andarinus. We did not find the Y2chromosome which was dyed deeply. Metaphase chromosome and interphase nucleus of marrow cells of Microtus m andarinus were painted with the whole Y chromosome specific probe of mouse, and the metaphase chromosome and interphase nucleus of mouse marrow cells was used as the control. The painting results showed that the signal detection rate is about 0 to 2 % in the metaphase chromosomes and 3 % to 5 % in the interphase nucleus of marrow cell of Microtus m andarinus, and the re2 sults are negative, but the control experiment was positive. From the results, we deduce that there are no homologic se2 quences of whole Y chromosome special DNA sequences of mouse in Y chromosome and whole genome of Microtus m an2 darinus. Perhaps, there are no important genes which determine male sex in the Y chromosome [ Acta Zoologica Sinica 50 (2) : 245-251, 2004 ].
