Mechanisms of chromosome banding. VII. Interaction of methylene blue with DNA and chromatin.

abstract：:Meiosis is a conserved cell division process that is used by sexually reproducing organisms to generate haploid gametes. Males and females produce different end products of meiosis: eggs (females) and sperm (males). In addition, these unique end products demonstrate sex-specific differences that occur throughout meios...
