Abstract excerpt
When females of 21 strains and hybrids were mated to BALB/cBm males to determine the role of the maternal genome in the sex reversing non-disjunction of the Y chromosome, (1) BALB/cBm and BALB/cBy and SJL/J females produced 39.5-41.5% males and 2.4-2.8% hermaphrodites; (2) SWR/J, A/HeJ, DBA/2J and C3HeB/FeJ produced 44.8-49.1% males and 0.2-0.7% hermaphrodites; (3) C3H/HeJ and three strains of C57BL produced...
