P. Nett et al., NEW PERCEPTIONS IN PAIRING BEHAVIOR OF CH ROMOSOMES IN THE MEIOSIS, DTW. Deutsche tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 103(10), 1996, pp. 375-377
Recent results from meiotic research in animals are presented with emp
hasis on the pairing behaviour of autosomes und sexchromosomes. Synapt
onemal complex preparations were primarily utilized, that allowed obse
rvations of the pairing behaviour of the sexchromosomes is quite remar
kable. The structure and function of the synaptonemal complex is discu
ssed and the localization of the pseudo autosomal region on the sexchr
omosomes is described.
