Abstract excerpt
A Neurospora crassa mutation, mei-2, affecting meiosis and mutagen sensitivity, was characterized for its effect on meiotic recombination and chromosome pairing. Results from homozygous mei-2 crosses involving distant markers on the same chromosome demonstrated a drastic reduction in meiotic recombination. However, mitotic recombination continued to occur. Cytological observations indicated that pairing of...
