Effect of cadmium on meiosis

Effect of cadmium on meiosis

Cadmium is known to cause health hazards to miners, industrial workers, and those involved in the production of alkaline batteries. The effects of Cd on meiosis during spermatogenesis was studied in male rats. The tests showed that Cd produces degeneration of sex vesicles, precocious separation of s...

Zusammenfassung:Cadmium is known to cause health hazards to miners, industrial workers, and those involved in the production of alkaline batteries. The effects of Cd on meiosis during spermatogenesis was studied in male rats. The tests showed that Cd produces degeneration of sex vesicles, precocious separation of sex chromosomes, and tetraploidy.
