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

The rec12 mutants were proficient at meiosis and underwent two meiotic divisions as revealed by ascus development and the distribution of chromosomes.
Localization of Spo11 across synapsed, pachytene chromosomes of mice also suggests that Spo11 has an additional role, after it catalyzes recombination, in meiosis [ 25 ] .
Transient exposure of mouse oocytes to MG-132 for 6 h followed by washout of the compound and an additional 17 h culture in vitro enabled exposure of cells during meiosis I and sufficient time for them to progress to metaphase II.
Abnormal chromosome segregation has been observed in mice lacking the Mad2 checkpoint protein [ 25 ] . The spindle checkpoint utilizes sensory proteins that detect kinetochore-microtubule tension and occupancy and transiently block anaphase until all of the chromosomes are properly attached to microtubules [ 16 26 27 ] . Although the mammalian spindle checkpoint appears to differ between mitosis and meiosis, the two meiotic divisions, and male and female germ cells [ 28 ] , anaphase subsequently follows stable kinetochore-microtubule attachments [ 17 29 ] in both vertebrate mitotic [ 30 ] and meiotic [ 31 ] cells.
The technical difficulties of combining more than two sets of genetic information into one individual, and of parceling out that information during meiosis, must be vast, says Brian Charlesworth of the University of Edinburgh.
