Abstract
The genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of 108 individual sheep from three Turkish sheep breeds Kıvırcık Gökçeada and Sakız were studied using RAPD analysis Polymorphisms within and between populations were assayed using 15 random primers and 82 loci were amplified ranging from 250 to 2500 bp The percentage of polymorphic loci was found to be 8049 7805 and 7317 for Kıvırcık Gökçeada and Sakız sheep breeds respectively Total genetic diversity was 02265 and the average coefficient of genetic differentiation was 01181 Genetically the Gökçeada breed was more closely related to the Sakız breed than to the Kıvırcık breed
