Example sentences for: missegregation

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

Irregular partitioning of chromosomes during the second meiotic division has also been reported in fission yeast rec7 mutants [ 10 ] , so MII missegregation may be a relatively common fate for chromosomes in hyporecombination mutants.
it has been shown that driving transcription through a centromere via an inducible promoter prevents cohesin from associating and results in chromosome missegregation and cell death [13].
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).
However, about half of the diploids from rec12-117 and rec12-D15 meioses, and 14% of diploids from rec12-Y98F meioses, exhibited mixed patterns of MI or MII missegregation for different chromosomes within individual cells (Table 2).
Catalytically-inactive Rec12-Y98F protein apparently cannot enhance the fidelity appropriate MII segregation, relative to MII missegregation levels in cells lacking Rec12 entirely.
