title: [Comparison of the transmission of three trisomies by males and females in the newt Pleurodeles waltlii (author's transl)].
abstract: In the newt Pleurodelles waltlii, males and females trisomic for chromosomes 8, 10 and 11 are fertile. Crosses between such trisomics and diploids were carried out. Progeny analysis showed that an extra chromosome is transmitted to half of the gametes of both males and females trisomics. The extra chromosome apparently causes interference in the regular mechanics of meiotic division, so that trisomics throw nonparental aneuploids and polyploids in their progenies. Moreover, some descendants develop chromosome anomalies during embryonic life ; thus, the progeny of trisomics include diploids, parentaltype trisomics, and embryos with new chromosome anomalies. Morphology and chromosome anomalies of the embryos are compared. A possible explanation for the secondarily acquired anomalies are discussed.
