Evidence of preferential pairing of chromosomes at meiosis in aneuploid yeast.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Meiotic pairing in homothallic S. cerevisiae was studied by tetrad analysis, using strains that were trisomic or tetrasomic for chromosomes. I. The disomic segregants of these strains produce tetrasomic spore colonies that can be distinguished by their phenotype. Results indicated the existence of preferential pairing and nonrandom assortment of chromosomes at meisosis I. The frequency of crossing over is apparently normal in at least some regions when nonpreferred pairing occurs.

Meiosis in sesquidiploid hybrids of Lycopersicon esculentum and Solanum lycopersicoides.
We have synthesized diploid hybrids between Lycopersicon esculentum and Solanum lycopersicoides and have converted them to allotetraploids. Two sesquidiploids, having two complements of the former parent and one of the latter, have been obtained by backcrossing the former parent with the alloploid. In meiosis of the sesquidiploid the L. esculentum chromosomes exhibit strong preferential pairing...
متن کاملA stable aneuploid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
NEUPLOIDS of the (n -I1 ) type have been described in several fungi. In Aspergillus nidulans (&FER 1960; POLLARD, KAFEK and JOHNSON 1968) , a number of aneuploids produced by mitotic and meiotic nondisjunction have been studied. These disomics were distinguished by a characteristic colony morphology. In Neurospora crassa, disomics for five of the seven linkage groups were studied by PITTENGER (...
متن کاملCentromere pairing – tethering partner chromosomes in meiosis I
In meiosis, homologous chromosomes face the obstacle of finding, holding onto and segregating away from their partner chromosome. There is increasing evidence, in a diverse range of organisms, that centromere-centromere interactions that occur in late prophase are an important mechanism in ensuring segregation fidelity. Centromere pairing appears to initiate when homologous chromosomes synapse ...
متن کاملCentromere mapping functions for aneuploid meiotic products: Analysis of rec8, rec10 and rec11 mutants of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Recent evidence suggests that the position of reciprocal recombination events (crossovers) is important for the segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I and sister chromatids during meiosis II. We developed genetic mapping functions that permit the simultaneous analysis of centromere-proximal crossover recombination and the type of segregation error leading to aneuploidy. The mapp...
متن کاملFinding the Correct Partner: The Meiotic Courtship
Homologous chromosomes are usually separated at the entrance of meiosis; how they become paired is one of the outstanding mysteries of the meiotic process. Reduction of spacing between homologues makes possible the occurrence of chromosomal interactions leading to homology detection and the formation of bivalents. In many organisms, telomere-led chromosome movements are generated that bring hom...
