Abstract: An analysis to establish the exact site of Dhc-Yh3 on the Y chromosome involved the application of several feasible translocation between the X and Y chromosomes. The ordinary genes that function during spermiogenesis are contained in the Y chromosome, and are crucial for male fertility. Dynein heavy-chain sequences are regionalized to Y chromosome kl-5 site.
