Meiotic dynamics in mammalian seminal cells.

Abstract:

:The paper discusses certain dynamic processes leading to meiotic (haploid) partition of chromatids via the chiasmatic mode in mammalian spermatic cells. The achiasmatic case is also reviewed briefly and only in the context of homologs with centromeric braids arrayed in the Para configuration.
