Abstract
The XXY male mouse, of otherwise normal chromosome complement, is characterized by small testes, few spermatogonia, and spermatocytes in which the first stage of meiosis up to the pachytene stage can occur, although with a very low frequency. Pachytene autosomes are morphologically similar to those of the oöcytes. The sex vesicle is smaller and more condensed than in the normal male.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
