NMRI/Han mice ovulate significant numbers of diploid oocytes after gonadotrophin stimulation, most of them arrested at metaphase I. In contrast, females from other mouse strains ovulate only oocytes having completed meiosis I. We investigated the heritability of the trait Dipl I by analysing F1 hybrid females from crosses between the sensitive NMRI/Han stock and two mouse strains (C3H/HeHan and BALB/c) considered as non-sensitive, and females from backcrosses to NMRI/Han males (only crosses with C3H/HeHan). The results show (1) that the trait Dipl I is inheritable; (2) that an X-chromosomal (location proximally from the X–Y pairing region) or autosomal recessive mode of inheritance is excluded; and (3) that the expression of the trait, measured as frequency of diploidy, is modulated by a maternally transmitted factor.
