Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutants show an elevated frequency of X chromosome nondisjunction in females. Most or all of the nondisjunction events involve achiasmate chromosomes in the first meiotic division. An equal number of diplo-X and nullo-X progeny are seen, indicating that meiotic chromosome loss is not a significant factor. Second chromosome nondisjunction is also elevated. The gametic frequency of simultaneous X and second chromosome nondisjunction is greater than 62%. The frequency of crossing over is reduced in homozygous females. Crossing over is reduced by a similar degree on both the X chromosome and the left arm of the second chromosome. The reduction in crossing over is not uniform along each chromosome arm. On the second chromosome, crossing over is reduced more in distal regions rather than in proximal regions. Precocious anaphase is seen in homozygous mature oocytes.
