- - Germ cells contain 3 haploid chromosomes ([[Körner, 1952|biblio/43261846]]).

    This is a low number in the animal reign, although at least one mammal has
    a similar number ([[Wurster and Benirschke 1970|biblio/5444269]]), and some insects have even less.
-   There are also intriguing observations of somatic mitotic cells with 7
-   chromosomes ([[Körner, 1952|biblio/43261846]]) and meiotic cells with
-   8 haploid chromosomes ([[Colombera & Fenaux, 1973|biblio/10.1080_11250007309429248]]).
