Description 300-303
To estimate the
genetic diversity of the hawksbill turtle populations, the mitochondrial DNA
control region was used as a matrilineal marker. Captured turtles (69 samples)
were obtained from three different islands in the Persian
Gulf. From all the samples DNA was isolated. Primers were selected
based on a specific sequence in control region of mitochondrial genome. PCR
products were restricted by various restriction enzymes and four different
haplotypes observed. Measurement of inter-population genetic diversity and
evolutionary distance between genotypes showed a low diversity in mitochondrial
genome of hawksbill turtle in the studied regions. Therefore, the similarity
between these three populations was significant. Present results provide
evidences showing that significant genetic variation was not observed between
these distinct populations and there is not even enough evidence to show the
separation and diversion in the studied populations in haplotype level.
