Abstract excerpt
In species with chiasmate meioses, alterations in genetic recombination are an important correlate of nondisjunction. In general, these alterations fall into one of two categories: either homologous chromosomes fail to pair and/or recombine at meiosis I, or they are united by chiasmata that are suboptimally positioned. Recent studies of human nondisjunction suggest that these relationships apply to our species as...
