In the mouse XYY males are sterile, presumably because pairing abnormalities resulting from the presence of three sex chromosomes lead to meiotic breakdown. We have produced male mice, designated XYY\*X, that have three sex chromosomes pairing regions but only one intact Y chromosome. Unexpectedly X
DNA metabolism was analyzed in spermatocytes of mice that were sterile either because of X-autosome or autosome-autosome translocations, or because of trisomy. In the strains analyzed, spermatogenic development is arrested by metaphase I or soon thereafter. In all such strains a disruption of the no
