Comparison of male and female meiotic segregation patterns in translocation heterozygotes: a case study in an animal model (Sus scrofa domestica L.).

Abstract

This study is a new scientific contribution to compare the segregation patterns of male and female carriers of identical chromosomal rearrangements. The results obtained are consistent with those previously reported in mice. Hypotheses to interpret the observed differences between the two translocations, as well as between the male and female segregation patterns, are formulated and discussed.
