Cytogenetic studies of 1-29 translocation carrying cows and their embryos.
An examination has been made of embryos from infertile 1-29 translocation carrying heifers. Cytogenetic measurements of C-banded chromosomes from these cattle, together with those from fertile 1-29 cows, have been made and compared with those from normal karyotypes. There are relative differences between normal animals and translocation carriers in the ratios of total to C-banded material throughout the karyotypes: their possible effects on mitosis and meiosis are discussed. Of the embryos recovered from the infertile heifers, one did not survive transplantation and others had various indications of inviability.
