Wikipedia Overview
In addition to the normal karyotype made up of A chromosomes, wild populations of many animal, plant, and fungi species contain B chromosomes. By definition, these chromosomes are not essential for the life of a species, and are lacking in some of the individuals. Thus a population would consist of individuals with 0, 1, 2, 3 (etc.) B chromosomes. B chromosomes are distinct from marker chromosomes or additional copies of normal chromosomes as they occur in trisomies.
