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:

A 250-fold reduction in recombination would leave less than 0.1 crossovers per chromosome, so all three chromosomes in most of the rec12 mutant meioses are achiasmatic.
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.
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.
This is partly how we know that homologous crossovers in yeast and other eukaryotes are initiated by the cleavage of single chromosomes, called “double-strand breaks” (Box 1).
However in one of the more exciting crossovers from chemistry into medicine, researchers have developed nanoparticles to improve the diagnostic accuracy of MRI.
