In mammals, the timing of meiosis differs greatly between males and females (Figure 2). Male germ cells, or spermatogonia, do not enter meiosis until after puberty. Even then, only limited numbers ...

If you're male, your body uses meiosis to create sperm cells; if you're female, it uses meiosis to create egg cells. Others cells in your body contain 46 chromosomes: 23 from your father and 23 ...

Centromere drive depends on a combination of asymmetries in female meiosis. Meiotic drive of Rb fusions illustrates an idea proposed more than 50 years ago in a paper by zoologist Michael J. D. White: ...

Meiosis is the generation of germ cells (eggs ... from synapsed chromosome axes during meiotic prophase is crucial for female fertility, as it prevents aberrant chromosome asynapsis checkpoint ...

Currently, we are focused on two main projects: 1) Identification of components required for the differential regulation of TOP-2 in male and female meiosis. Type II DNA topoisomerases (Topo II) are ...

In females, meiosis is initiated during fetal development. Digital micrographs of fetal ovary at embryonic day 14.5 hybridized to the antisense Spo11 probe are shown here in panels a and b. — Dark ...

The process of meiosis happens in the male and female reproductive organs. As a cell divides to form gametes: ...

If you're male, your body uses meiosis to create sperm cells; if you're female, it uses meiosis to create egg cells. Others cells in your body contain 46 chromosomes: 23 from your father and 23 ...
