Abstract
Summary: In this report we examine the meiotic segregation of compound second autosomes sharing varying extents of heterochromatic and euchromatic homology. The second chromosome heterochromatin does not appear to influence the random meiotic segregation of compound second autosomes during spermatogenesis; however, the proximal euchromatin is implicated in male meiotic pairing. We conclude that male autosomal meiotic pairing sites are specific euchromatic chromosomal regions.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
