Abstract
An adult male common shrew with an XXY sex chromosome constitution was found in a natural population. The external appearance of the animal and size of the accessory glands were normal but the testes were as small as those of immature shrews. Histological preparations of the testis revealed seminiferous tubules containig only 1 type of cell, probably Sertoli celsl and interstitial cell hyperplasia.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
