How can you use “meiotic” 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.
However, only about 50% of diploid meiotic products from rec12-D15 (null) mutant meioses were heterozygous for centromere linked markers (Figure 5E), indicating that some fraction of the products were derived from precocious separation of sister chromatids (PSS) and/or MII nondisjunction (Figure 5C, 5D).
This study examined the relationship between meiotic recombination and chromosome segregation in rec12 ( spo11 ) mutants of fission yeast.
The summed length of all chromosomes is approximately 1,413 cM when values are converted from RI recombination frequencies to those expected of typical single-generation meiotic maps.
If Rec12 protein is required for all (or most) meiotic recombination, then rec12 mutants might fail to produce a sufficient number of reciprocal exchanges to ensure that each chromosome pair receives at least one crossover.
