β¦ Synopsis
The sequence of centromere separation in spermatogonial chromosomes of untreated and cyclophosphamide-treated Chinese hamsters is described. Centromeres of chromosome 1 and 2 separated much earlier than all other chromosomes, especially 6-8. Cyclophosphamide significantly inhibits the centromere separation in all chromosome groups but does not alter the sequence of separation.

Chromosome preparation in late metaphase cells from bone marrow of colcemid treated male Chinese hamsters were used to analyse the sequence of separation of sister centromeres. Chromatids of chromosomes 2 and 1 are the first ones to separate at centromeres, followed by members of group B, D and C. S
Acute and chronic treatment of Chinese hamsters and mice with 5, 25 and 125 mg/kg isoniazid (INH) given by oral intubation did not enhance the chromosomal aberration frequencies in spermatogonia. The structural and numerical aberration rates remained in the range of spontaneous events even after the
In this study the yield of the proliferation of the differentiating spermatogonia into spermatocytes was determined in five Chinese hamsters. Large differences of up to a factor 2 were found between the numbers of A1 spermatogonia in the various animals. However, the numbers of leptotene spermatocyt
