Kinetochore fibers are not involved in the formation of the first meiotic spindle in mouse oocytes, but control the exit from the first meiotic m phase... The first meiotic division is unique in that homologous chromosomes are segregated while the cohesion between sister chromatids is maintained, resulting in a reductional division....
A one-sided view of kinetochore attachment in meiosis Meiosis includes a reductional division in which homologous chromosomes, rather than sister chromatids, are segregated to opposite poles of the spindle....
Recombination and the progression of meiosis in saccharomyces cerevisiae... We find that mutations in any of three Early Exchange genes (REC104, REC114 or REC102) confer a phenotype in which the reductional division occurs earlier than in an isogenic wild-type diploid....
Coordination of the initiation of recombination and the reductional division in meiosis in saccharomyces cerevisiae.... Cells with mutations in several EE genes undergo an earlier reductional division (MI), which suggests that the initiation of meiotic recombination is involved in determining proper timing of the division....
