Summary Introduction

To review:

The effect of mutation in the mammal leading to loss of cytoplasmic bridges between the spermatids and the effect on the sex of the offspring produced by that mammal.

Introduction:

Sexual reproduction in animals involves the production and fusion of gametes from both males as well as female animals. The male gametes are called as sperms, whereas the female gametes are known as ovum or egg. The production and development processes of male and female gametes are different from each other.
