reproductive system
• sperm that are seen are immotile

small testis
(
J:284740
)
• slightly smaller than those of wild-type controls
|
• elongated spermatids are abnormally retained in stage IX seminiferous tubules
|
• when found arrangement of mitochondria and outer dense fibers are abnormal, and the inner 9+2 arrangement of microtubules are missing
|
• abnormal localization or loss of mitochondria
|
• flagella are rarely found and those that are seen show impaired elongation
|
• hardly any spermatozoa are seen in the epididymis
|
• abnormal head shapes are seen at stage XI
• abnormal contraction of the manchette in an abnormal location results in formation of club heads
|
• barely any elongated spermatids are found
|
• males housed with wild-type females form plugs but fail to sire pups
• pups can be sired by intracytoplasmic sperm injection
