Studies in male mouse meiosis have shown that after DNA damaging treatments like gamma irradiation, two types of repair responses occur depending on the meiotic stage: [5] From leptotene to early pachytene, exogenous DNA damage triggers widespread presence of the repair protein gammaH2AX in the nucleus, associated with homologous recombination ...

As it occurs after G2 of interphase, DNA has been already replicated when prophase begins. [1] Fluorescence microscope image of two mouse cell nuclei in prophase (scale bar is 5 μm). [2] Prophase (from Ancient Greek προ- 'before' and φάσις (phásis) 'appearance') is the first stage of cell division in both mitosis and meiosis.

At birth, meiosis arrests at the diplotene phase of prophase I. [7] Oocytes will remain in this state until the time of puberty. At the time of ovulation a surge of LH initiates the resumption of meiosis and oocytes enter the second cycle, which is known as oocyte maturation. Meiosis is then arrested again during metaphase 2 until fertilisation ...
Nondisjunction is when chromosomes fail to separate normally resulting in a gain or loss of chromosomes. This can happen during mitosis or meiosis. Primary nondisjunction occurs during meiosis I and the result is both members of a homologous pair go into the same daughter cell. This has the eggs have one more or one less number of chromosomes.
Heather Locklear is opening up about her favorite memories from filming the sitcom Spin City — and sharing what was different about working with Michael J. Fox versus his replacement in the ...
Meiosis generates genetic variation in the diploid cell, in part by the exchange of genetic information between the pairs of chromosomes after they align (recombination). Thus, on this view, [28] an advantage of meiosis is that it facilitates the generation of genomic diversity among progeny, allowing adaptation to adverse changes in the ...
