The present application belongs to the field of animal
cytology experimental technology, and specifically discloses a preparation method of
crayfish embryo chromosomes, comprising the following steps: taking
crayfish embryos in the nauplius stage, immersing in a
colchicine solution, culturing in a constant-temperature
incubator, discarding supernatant after
centrifugation, and obtaining
cell mass precipitate; then, low penetration, fixation, sheet preparation, sheet spraying,
staining and
microscope examination are performed, and the
crayfish embryo chromosomes are obtained. The present application first uses crayfish embryos in the nauplius stage to prepare chromosomes, overcomes the limitation of sample quantity, does not need to dissect parent crayfish, and has the advantages of clean division phase, more division phase quantity, clear
chromosome quantity and morphology, which is beneficial to the analysis of
chromosome type and
chromosome heredity; the operation is simple, the preparation period is short, and the cost is low. Finally, the present application can obtain clear
somatic cell chromosomes of 188 in the crayfish.
