MATTEVI * lnstituto Jose Ghisolfi, Faculdades Unidas de Bag!, 96400, Bage, RS, Brazil *Departamento de Genetica, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 90001, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil Summary Chromosome studies in 99 offspring of twin bulls, know to be leukocyte chimeras for an insertion in chromosome 16, revealed that only one sired heterozygotes carrying the abnormal chromosome. This indicated that the chimerism observed in the leukocytes did not extend to the cells. germ Key wortiv : Cliiiiierism, leukocyles, germ cells, ins 16. Résumé Modalités de ségrégation d’une insertion chromosomique dans la descendance de taureaux jumeaux chimériques L’étude chromosomique de 99 produits de taureaux jumeaux, identifiés comme des chimères leucocytaires pour une insertion dans le chromosome 16, a montré que seul un taureau a engendré des hétérozygotes portant le chromosome anormal. Ceci montre que le chimérisme observé dans les ne s’est étendu aux cellules leucocytes pas germinales. Mots cléy : Chimérisme, leucocytes, cellules germinales, ins 16. 1. Introduction The insertion in chromosome 16, ins 16 (fig. la), probably resulted from a centromeric transposition following 3 breaks in the autosome and was observed in leukocyte cultures from 7 out of a total sample of 81 Charolais cattle.
