Abstract excerpt
Regular segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiotic divisions is essential for the generation of viable progeny. In recombination-proficient organisms, chromosome disjunction at meiosis I generally occurs by chiasma formation between the homologs (chiasmate meiosis). We have studied meiotic stages in living rec8 and rec7 mutant cells of fission yeast, with special attention to prophase and the first...
