Meiosis: how could it work?

Year: 1996

Type: article

Abstract: A physical connection between homologs is required for reductional segregation at the first division of meiosis. This connection is usually provided by one or a few well-spaced crossovers. A speculative overview of processes leading to formation of these crossovers is presented.
