Abstract excerpt
Although in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the initiation of meiotic recombination, as indicated by double-strand break formation, appears to be functionally linked to the initiation of synapsis, meiotic chromosome synapsis in Drosophila females occurs in the absence of meiotic exchange. Electron microscopy of oocytes from females homozygous for either of two meiotic mutants (mei-W68 and mei-P22), which eliminate both...
