AB  - Analysis of the origin of domestic animals is of wide interest and has many 
      practical applications in areas such as agriculture and evolutionary biology. 
      Identification of an ancestor and comparison with the domesticated form allows 
      for an analysis of genetic, physiological, morphological and behavioral effects 
      of domestication. Because fox breeding has been an ongoing process for over a 
      century, differences are expected between farm and wild populations at the 
      chromosomal level. The aim of this work was to analyse polymorphisms at the 
      chromosomal level in foxes raised on farms and those living in the wild. Blood 
      samples and lung tissue served as the experimental material and were obtained 
      after slaughter of 35 foxes, including 28 breeding animals and 7 wild animals. 
      The classical cytogenetic method was used including AgNOR technique, as well as 
      molecular methods such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and primed 
      in situ labeling (PRINS). Analysis of the number of B chromosomes showed the 
      presence of polymorphisms in foxes from both studied populations, but there was 
      no correlation between the number of B chromosomes and the origin and gender of 
      particular animals. An analysis ofactive nucleolar organizers showed the presence 
      of a large number of polymorphisms and a tendency towards reduction of the number 
      of NORs in the captive-raised population.
