If there were no crossing over between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, then the first meiotic division would consistently separate the chromosomes derived from the mother's mother from the chromosomes derived from the mother's father, producing two cells that are not related to each other at all (or, more precisely, exactly as closely related to each other as the mother's mother was to the mother's father).
If this were the case, all three chromosomes within any given, individual meiotic product would exhibit identical segregation patterns.
In addition to genes required for viability and fertility [ 5], heterochromatin contains essential cis -acting chromosome inheritance loci, including elements required for centromere function [ 6], meiotic pairing [ 7, 8, 9], and sister chromatid cohesion [ 10, 11].
This value is close to the frequency (58%) of nullisomics that one would expect if chromosome segregation were completely random in either one of the two meiotic divisions.
