Abstract excerpt
Two meiotic genes from natural populations are described. A female meiotic mutation, mei(1)g13, mapped to 17.4 on the X chromosome, causes nondisjunction of all homologs except for the fourth chromosomes. In addition, it reduces recombination by 10% in the homozygotes and causes 18% increased recombination in the heterozygotes. A male meiotic mutation, mei-1223m144, is located on the third chromosome. Although...
