Genetic studies of the house mouse

Abstract


Mouse spermatodyte chiasma frequency observations by Slizynski shew chiasma interference which can be adequately represented by a model due to Mather. Some genetical implications of this model are analysed, assuming various strengths of chromatid interference, and. are compared with genetical observations. This indicates that there is little or no chromatid interference in the male mouse. A new map length and recombination frequency conversion table is given, based on the observed chiasma frequencies.
