Chromosomal polymorphism giving rise to 3 variants in the diploid number 2n 38 1 cj 2n 37 2 J1 1 Ọ and 2n 36 1 cf 7 Ọ was observed. By means of GTC-band analysis this polymorphism proved to be the consequence of a Robertsonian translocation between members of pairs 15 and 17 of karyotypes with 2n 38 thereby creating a long submetacentric chromosome 15 17 together with 2 free acrocentric chromosomes 15 and 17 in individuals with 2n 37 and a pair of long submetacentric chromosomes 15 17 in 2n 36 specimens. CBG-band analysis revealed 2 types of staining for heterochromatin a dark staining characteristic of acrocentric chromosomes and occasionally present in the submetacentric 15 17 and a pale staining characteristic of the rest of the submetacentric chromosomes. The Y-chromosome presented dark heterochromatin over the entire length of its long arm. The nucleolus organizers were observed on pairs 8 and 10 and showed heteromorphism of the size of the silver block and in the distribution in both pairs. wild board karyotype chromosomal polymorphism nucleolus organizer region heterochromatin Resume - Analyse cytogénétique bandes GTG CBG et NOR d une population de sangliers Sus scrota scrota el de son polymorphisme dans le Sud-Est de I Espagne - Les caryotypes de 12 sangliers 4 males et 8 ệmellẹs provenant de la Sierra Nevada et Sierra de Baza Almeria ont été analyses.
