Behavior of the chromosome core in mitosis and meiosis.

abstract：:The divergence of lineages leading to extant squamate reptiles (lizards, snakes, and amphisbaenians) and birds occurred about 275 million years ago. Birds, unlike squamates, have karyotypes that are typified by the presence of a number of very small chromosomes. Hence, a number of chromosome rearrangements might be ex...

abstract：:At meiotic prophase the chromatin becomes arranged in loops on newly formed chromosome cores. The cores of homologous chromosomes become aligned in parallel and thus form the synaptonemal complex (SC), a structure found in the meiocytes of nearly all recombinationally competent, sexually reproducing organisms.
