Males of Drosophila pseudoobscura carrying the sex-ratio chromosome (SR) were studied to determine the cause of X/O male progeny that they produce. It was found that among 3671 X/O progeny virtually all resulted from nullo-X sperm. The experiment also revealed a dramatic clustering of the frequency of X/O progeny among SR/Y males. This is interpreted to indicate that premeiotic events in the male germ line are the cause of nullo-X sperm.
对携带性比染色体(SR)的拟暗果蝇雄性进行了研究,以确定它们产生X/O雄性后代的原因。结果发现,在3671个X/O后代中,几乎所有都是由无X精子产生的。该实验还揭示了SR/Y雄性中X/O后代频率的显著聚集。这被解释为表明雄性生殖系中的减数分裂前事件是无X精子产生的原因。
