Abstract
It is possible that the similarities between the quarks and leptons ar ise from the spontaneous breaking of an exact quark-lepton Z2 discrete symmetry. We study the connection between this type of discrete symme try and the discrete symmetries of charge conjugation, parity and time reversal: C, P and T.
