Birds are characterised by feathers, flight, a small genome and a very distinctive karyotype. Despite the large numbers of chromosomes, the diploid count of 2n ≈ 80 has remained remarkably constant with 63% of birds where 2n = 74–86, 24% with 2n = 66–74 and extremes of 2n = 40 and 2n = 142. Of these, the most studied is the chicken (2n = 78), and m...
