This study examined the relationship between meiotic recombination and chromosome segregation in rec12 ( spo11 ) mutants of fission yeast.
Asci from meiotic cultures were fixed with 70% ethanol at -20°C for at least 15 minutes, washed with H 2 O, and stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) at a final concentration of 1 μg/ml.
These observations agree with previous studies which had been limited to comparisons of genetic and RH maps [ 58], male/female meiotic ratios [ 59], or relatively few markers on well-sequenced chromosomes [ 59].
At present, two hypothetical mechanisms by which a Rec12-dependent signal affects MII are proposed: First, Rec12-dependent (recombination-dependent) signals might trigger a block after MI, thereby allowing cells to skip a frequently irregular MII division [ 39 ] . However, the majority of the rec12 mutant meioses show evidence of two meiotic divisions (Figure 3) and many of the meiotic diploids exhibit mixed MI and MII missegregation patterns for centromere linked markers on the three different chromosomes (Table 2).
Crossing over prevents this, creating a mosaic of related and unrelated chromosome regions between the products of the first meiotic division and uncertain relationships between the final four meiotic products.
