Fertility in an F1 male hybrid of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) x mule deer (O. hemionus)
J Reprod Fertil.
1991 Sep.
Abstract
The fecundity of an F1 male hybrid deer, from a cross between a male Odocoileus virginianus (white-tailed deer) and a female O. hemionus (mule deer), was assessed by cytogenetic and flow cytometric techniques. Analysis of chromosome morphology, nucleolus organizer expression, meiotic chromosome pairing, sperm production, and nuclear gene inheritance revealed no genetic anomalies that could potentially impair normal fertility. These observations are discussed in relation to recent reports of hybridization between natural populations of these two species.
