endocrine/exocrine glands
• devoid of follicles at 21 dpp
|
• less populated tubules
|
small testis
(
J:163309
)
• mutant males have significantly smaller testes than wild-type
|
reproductive system
• an increased percentage of achiasmate chropmosomes are observed at pachynema in oocytes
|
• the X and Y are separated at pachynema 60-fold more often than in wild-type a 60-fold increase
|
• also arrested spermatogenesis at epithelial stage IV , but no post-meiotic cells are observed, indicating that pachytene arrest is tighter
• the numbers of crossovers and chiasmata are reduced
• the X and Y fail to form a subnuclear domain (the sex body) druing prophase compared to wild-type mice
|
• proper pachynema with fully synapsed autosomal bivalents are never observed
