Synapsis of a chromosomal pair heterozygous for a pericentric inversion and the presence of a heterochromatic short arm. Academic Article

abstract

• Analysis of meiotic pairing configurations in a deer mouse heterozygous for both a pericentric inversion and the presence of a heterochromatic short arm at chromosome 15 revealed straight-paired synaptonemal complexes with equal axial lengths in a majority of the pachytene nuclei. Nonhomologous pairing in this bivalent occurs by direct heterosynapsis of the inverted segments followed by synaptic adjustment of the heterochromatin heteromorphism.
