Differences between fin and sperm DNA amplified with sex-specific primers for pseudomales. a The 169 and 134 bp bands were Z and W chromosome-specific, respectively. Pseudomales contained both Z and W chromosomes; therefore, the W bands were detected in their fin DNA. The absence of W bands amplified with sperm DNA of a pseudomale showed that it cannot produce W sperm. b A replication, although the W band can sometimes be detected in the sperm of a pseudomale, this band was very faint compared with that from the fins. In this context, the faint amplification of the W band depended on the presence of somatic cell DNA in the semen and lysis time during DNA extraction
