Abstract
Chromosome Mechanics and Meiotic Engine Maintenance
Highlights
The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis has been likened to a middle school dance, where partners find one another, form couples that move about and trade information, and separate to opposite sides of the dance hall
Chromosomes transition from having their centromeres clustered near the spindle pole to having their telomeres clustered at the nuclear periphery adjacent to the spindle pole
The bouquet stage ends with dispersal of telomeres across the inner nuclear envelope as chromosomes finalize their intimate pairing by forming synaptonemal complexes (SCs) that link chromosome pairs closely along their lengths
Summary
The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis has been likened to a middle school dance, where partners find one another, form couples that move about and trade information, and separate to opposite sides of the dance hall. The bouquet stage ends with dispersal of telomeres across the inner nuclear envelope as chromosomes finalize their intimate pairing by forming synaptonemal complexes (SCs) that link chromosome pairs closely along their lengths.
