Abstract
Ten samples of the Philippine fruit bats, Ptenochirus jagori (Pet.) were collected and their chromosome number, morphology and behavior were observed in spermatic at pachynema using Meredith's method (1969). The bivalents paired normally except in chromosomes where the terminal region is not homologous. The diploid chromosome number of P. jagori is 36. There are 9 metacentric chromosome (m), 5 submetacentric chromosomes (sm), 1 telocentric (st), and 2 metacentrics (M). The metacentric (m) x chromosome is the tenth largest element in the haploid set, while the telocentric (T) Y is the smallest,
