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

In each case identified, this distributive system of fission yeast can partially circumvent the MI segregation errors of achiasmatic chromosomes; approximately one-quarter to one-half of those homologs expected to nondisjoin ( i.e., move to the same pole) end up segregating distributively ( i.e., move to opposite poles).
There is precedence for a distributive MI segregation system in several organisms.
The respective contributions of chiasmatic and achiasmatic (distributive) modes of chromosome segregation can be studied in organisms with naturally-occurring achiasmatic chromosomes [ 8 ] , in cells harboring non-recombined artificial chromosomes [ 9 ] , and in achiasmatic mutants [ 10 ] . Among achiasmatic mutants, those lacking the Spo11 (Rec12) protein are of particular interest because Spo11 has a key role in the initiation of recombination [ 11 ] .
If Rec12 were required for such a checkpoint, the null mutants would be achiasmatic, would fail to delay for the time period required to establish distributive segregation, and would consequently undergo high rates of MI nondisjunction.
In female meioses of D. melanogaster , heterochromatic pairing of homologs can substitute for chiasmata to ensure bipolar spindle attachment of bivalents and subsequent distributive segregation [ 4 5 6 8 ] . Rec12 may serve a similar role in maintaining a paired (or pseudo-paired) state between achiasmatic chromosomes prior to the first meiotic division.
