Abstract excerpt

The meiotic behavior of translocation heterozygous T70 (1;13)H/+ male mice with a Snell dwarf (dw/dw) genotype was compared with that of nondwarf T70H/+ controls. A four-fold increase in the nondisjunction frequency of the normal bivalents occurred as a consequence of the dwarf genotype. This inc...
