Summary
The present paper reports the utilisation of gynogenesis in genetic analysis and chromosome mapping in carp. A new colour mutant was analysed with the help of gynogenetic haploid, diploid and biparental F1 and F2 populations. The mutant character was controlled by two genes, P and R, and only fish with double recessive alleles pprr showed the mutant coloration. The gene—kinetochore (G–K) distances of the genes were established. G–K distances were measured for two other genes—transferrin and scaliness.
