Image: In meiosis, the chromosomes duplicate (during interphase) and homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information (chromosomal crossover) before a first division, called meiosis I. The daughter cells divide again in meiosis II, splitting up sister chromatids to form haploid gametes. Male and female gametes fuse during fertilization, creating a diploid cell with a complete set of paired chromosomes (Photo courtesy of the [US] National Institutes of Health).

Genome Analysis Shows Meiosis Gene Mutation Causes Primary Ovarian Insufficiency

A mutation in a gene linked to the process of meiosis was found in two sisters diagnosed with primary ovarian insufficiency, a syndrome that prevented them from reaching sexual maturity.   More...
