Abstract
A phenotypically normal male mouse, investigated because it was sterile, was found to possess 41 chromosomes. A karyotypic analysis indicated the extra element was one of the smallest chromosomes, almost certainly the Y. X-Y bivalents, Y-Y bivalents and XYY univalents were seen in meiotic metaphase I cells, and it was therefore concluded that the extra chromosome was indeed the Y. Spermatogenesis tended to break down after meiosis I, but a few spermatids and sperm were observed.
