Studies on the Karyotype Differentiation of the Norway Rat. XIV

Translocation between the Autosome Nos. 3 and 8 in BUF-Strain Rat developed after γ-Irradiation and its Transmission to Offspring

Abstract

A male of the BUF/Ms strain rat with 3;8 translocation is obtained after γ-irradiation. The large broken end of the no. 8 chromosome was translocated tandemly to the no. 3 chromosome. By several coatings between the translocation male and female it is shown that the male and the female with the translocation is fertile and the translocation homozygous female was also fertile.
