Words similar to crossovers

Example sentences for: crossovers

How can you use “crossovers” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Crossover recombination (reciprocal exchange) generates chiasmata, physical connections between homologs, which provide the primary mechanism to ensure proper segregation of homologs during MI [ 1 ] . In the absence of chiasmata (crossovers), homologous chromosomes experience nondisjunction and segregate randomly from their partners.
The rec12 null and active site mutants are achiasmatic and, as anticipated, Rec12-dependent crossovers (chiasmata) are required to ensure proper reductional chromosome segregation in MI.
In the absence of Rec12 protein and crossovers, a backup distributive (achiasmatic) segregation system operates successfully on up to half of the chromosomes that would otherwise undergo MI nondisjunction.
This discrepancy is not due to the nature of the rec12-117 allele, as we have also observed a 200-fold or greater reduction in crossovers in
Since wild-type S. pombe has 44 crossovers per meiosis (between 11 and 18 per chromosome) [ 36 ] , the mutants statistically have less than 0.1 crossovers per chromosome per meiosis and are thus achiasmatic.
