Experimental Heteroploidy in Mammals

  • Conference paper
Developmental Biology and Pathology

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Pathology ((CT PATHOLOGY,volume 62))

Abstract

The chromosomes transmit the genetic information from one generation to the next; any alteration in their number or organization is bound to be of consequence. This is especially so in the performance of the reproductive system: chromosome aberrations are connected with sterility or reduced fertility, embryonic and fetal mortality, congenital malformations, and perinatal death.
