Arabidopsis female meiotic mutant
The life cycle of plants alternates between a haploid gametophyte and a diploid sporophyte. In higher plants the gametophyte is reduced to a small number of cells surrounded by sporophytic tissue. The female gametophyte is contained within the ovule and consists of an embryo sac which harbors the egg cell and other associated haploid cells required for fertilization and development of the embry...
متن کاملOrigin of meiotic nondisjunction in Drosophila females.
Meiotic nondisjunction can be induced by external agents, such as heat, radiation, and chemicals, and by internal genotypic alterations, namely, point mutations and chromosomal rearrangements. In many cases, nondisjunction arises from a reduction or elimination of crossing over, leading to the production of homologous univalents which fail to co-orient on the metaphase plate and to disjoin prop...
متن کاملMolecular characterisation of partial chromosome 21 aneuploidies by fluorescent PCR.
Although trisomy of chromosome 21 is the most prevalent human genetic disorder, data from partial 21 aneuploidies are very scanty. Eight different partial aneuploidies for chromosome 21 were characterised by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Allelic dosage analysis was performed for each patient using 25 CHLC STRs covering the entire q arm. The length of the corresponding trisomies and monosomies ...
متن کاملMeiotic drive and evolution of female choice.
As a special version of the good-genes hypothesis, it was recently proposed that females could benefit from choosing drive-resistant males in a meiotic drive system. Here, we examine with a three-locus, six-allele population genetic model whether female choice for drive resistance can evolve. An allele leading to female preference for drive-resistant males was introduced at low frequency into a...
متن کاملHaplotype Mapping of a Diploid Non-Meiotic Organism Using Existing and Induced Aneuploidies
Haplotype maps (HapMaps) reveal underlying sequence variation and facilitate the study of recombination and genetic diversity. In general, HapMaps are produced by analysis of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) segregation in large numbers of meiotic progeny. Candida albicans, the most common human fungal pathogen, is an obligate diploid that does not appear to undergo meiosis. Thus, standard ...
