Abstract:
:Chromosome behaviour during meiosis in male Syrian hamsters heterozygous for one of three translocations was analysed as part of a study of the transmission of these structural changes. Synapsis was studied using preparations of synaptonemal complexes, and chiasmate associations and the results of anaphase I segregation were studied in air-dried preparations of metaphases I and II respectively. The main findings were: (i) that, at least in the two trivalent-forming translocations, there is no simple relationship between either the frequency or the extent of synapsis and chiasma formation between the chromosomes involved in the translocation; (ii) that the presence of a univalent in a substantial proportion of metaphase I cells does not necessarily lead to irregular segregation as judged by analysis of metaphase IIs; and (iii) conversely, that in translocation heterozygotes in which metaphase I contains the chromosomes involved in the translocation as a quadrivalent or as two bivalents, with no univalents or trivalents, unexpected numerical segregation can be found. The observations of meiotic chromosomes behaviour reported here show that it is not always possible to predict the effects of structural change, or to determine the basis of these effects, from an analysis of any stage of meiosis taken in isolation, or from an analysis of an apparently similar change.
