Abstract
Data from foetal and weanling studies suggest that Oxford race metacentrics kq and no, but not pr, are transmitted preferentially from Robertsonian heterozygote common shrews collected from the Oxford area. These results suggest a possible mechanism for the maintenance of the Robertsonian polymorphism in that area.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
