  1. Results are listed chromosome by chromosome of 30 sperm interphase nuclei, each. The chromosomal orientation is given for axial orientated chromosomes towards the head of the chromosome. Example: if the short arm was directed to the head of the sperm this nucleus was registered in the column 'p-arm'. Abbreviations: Chr. = chromosome; m = standard error; M = mean.
