reproductive system
• the numbers of spermatocytes and spermatozoa are reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• post-meiotic staged spermatids and spermatozoa are sometimes absent unlike in wild-type mice
|
• sperm motility and progressive motility is decreased compared to in wild-type cells
• however, axoneme structure is normal
|
• some male mice fail to produce offspring
• however, other male mice with reduced sperm motility are fertile
