Abstract excerpt
Meiosis reduces ploidy through two rounds of chromosome segregation preceded by one round of DNA replication. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes segregate, while in meiosis II, sister chromatids separate from each other. Topoisomerase II (Topo II) is a conserved enzyme that alters DNA structure by introducing transient double-strand breaks. During mitosis, Topo II relieves topological stress associated with...
