Abstract
White mice, Balb \ C males and females, were exposed to rodenticide zinc phosphide. The frequency of aberrations in metaphase 1 chromosome recovered from oocytes was compared with those recovered from spermatocytes, in pachytene and diplotene phases. The results revealed that: - 1. Was not affected in oocytes and spermatocytes in 1 and 7 days after treatment, but it was effected in 21 and 35 days after treatment. 2. The frequency of aberrations in oocytes did not different from spermatocytes during diplotene, but aberrations were found in pachytene diplotene phase. significatly more chromosome phase compared with those in 3. Increase chromosome aberration especially after 21,35 days. 4. It was pachytene more sensitive to rodenticide than diplotene phase.
