Figure 2. Production of MatDup.dist7 fetuses.

Figure 2

(A) Quadrivalents at meiosis I occurring in (T9H/+, Tyrc /c, ICRΔ/+ ♀×T9H/+, Tyr +/+, ICR+/+ ♂) matings. Female reciprocal translocation heterozygote (T9H/+) parent is homozygous for the dist7 marker albino (Tyrc /c) and carries ICRΔ (ICRΔ/+), while the male T9H/+ parent is wild-type at both of these loci (Tyr +/+, ICR+/+). (B) Genotypes of MatDup.dist7 fetuses obtained from the union of unbalanced complementary gametes. MatDup.dist7 individuals are readily identified as albinos from 12½ dpc by lack of eye or fur pigmentation. Many of these are ICRΔ.+ although a high frequency of homozygous recombinants, ICRΔ.Δ and ICR+.+, are also obtained. Chrs depicted are actually paired chromatids. Underneath is depicted allele-specific expression—MatDup.dist7 ICRΔ.+ and ICRΔ.Δ fetuses have one and probably two activated Igf2 alleles, and should have one and two repressed H19 alleles, respectively.
