Preferable Location of Chromosomes 1, 29, and X in Bovine Spermatozoa
Overview
Affiliations
Chromosome positioning in sperm nucleus may have a functional significance by influencing the sequence of post-fertilization events. In this study we present data on preferential locations of chromosomes 1, 29 and X in spermatozoa. Here we demonstrate that the position of X chromosome in the sperm nucleus is more restricted as compared to the position of chromosome 1, which is about of the same size. Our data support the concept of the functional significance of genome architecture in male germline cells.
Karyotype depends on sperm head morphology in some amniote groups.
