Although there is strong evidence for post-meiotic RNA synthesis during spermatogenesis, definitive proof of haploid gene transcription is lacking. Segregation distortion in t-allele-bearing males provides evidence for post-meiotic gene expression since delayed mating experiments argue strongly that there are similar numbers of qualitatively different spermatozoa in ejaculates of males carrying moderately distorting t-alleles. Such post-meiotic transcription may not be infrequent but the intercellular bridges connecting spermatids would usually maintain gametic equivalence.
尽管有确凿证据表明精子发生过程中存在减数分裂后RNA合成，但缺乏单倍体基因转录的确切证据。携带t等位基因的雄性的分离畸变提供了减数分裂后基因表达的证据，因为延迟交配实验有力地表明，携带中度畸变t等位基因的雄性射精中存在数量相似但质量不同的精子。这种减数分裂后的转录可能并不罕见，但连接精子细胞的细胞间桥通常会维持配子的等效性。
