Meiotic chromosome pairing abnormalities in full-blood and hybrid Bos taurus and B. indicus cattle have been surveyed by electron microscopy of pachytene synaptonemal complex spreads. In this paper, the full-blood spreads are described in detail, including the use of XY and nucleolar morphology and other measured parameters for pachytene substaging. Pairing abnormalities were observed in up to 9% of the full-blood spreads. Most of these pairing abnormalities (83%) occurred in early-pachytene spreads, suggesting that the mechanism of synaptic adjustment may operate in cattle.Key words: synaptonemal complex, cattle, pachytene substages.

Synaptonemal complex analysis of an exceptional tetraploid oocyte from a diploid chicken heterozygous for the MN t (Z;1) rearrangement was performed by electron microscopy of a spread preparation. Ten separate quadrivalents (26% of the chromosomal axes) were analyzed, as well as 50 autosomal bivalents. All the axes less than 2.5 μm in length formed bivalents (38) only, while axes in the 2.5–4.2 μm range formed 5 quadrivalents and 12 bivalents. The longer, separate axes formed quadrivalents only. Partner switches in excess of one were documented. The two identical W chromosomes paired only at the ends of their short arms. Quadrivalent formation may require a threshold length (2.5 μm), at least in this species. The tip of the short arm of the W chromosome may be a pairing initiation point, and it corresponds to the region associated with a localized recombination nodule previously described in diploid oocytes.Key words: quadrivalent, tetraploid, synaptonemal complex, chicken oocyte.
