Abstract: | Summary Cytogenetic analyses of bone marrow and meiotic cells in an apparently normal male mouse clearly revealed the presence of an extra Y chromosome leading to 2n=41, XYY. During meiosis the sex chromosomes formed all possible types of combinations (XYY, XY/Y, YY/X and X/Y/Y). Compared to 40, XY normal mice, the sperm count was significantly less, but the incidence of sperm head abnormality was at the normal level.Acknowledgment. The authors are grateful to Prof. G. K.
