The monograph is intended for the wide range of researchers who work in the field of cellular and molecular biology, genetics, cytogenetics, for agrarian business specialists, scientists, agrarian high school teachers and students.

The monograph presents a modern theoretical and practical material on the cytogene­ tics of agricultural and domestic animals. The book gives the results of cytogenetic studies of the chromosomal variability of various species and breeds of agricultural animals. The question of how individual cytogenetic markers relate to the productivity and the reproductive capacity of cattle and sheep is considered. The monograph is intended for scientists, agrarian high school teachers and students.
