SYNAPTONEMAL COMPLEX CONFIGURATIONS IN ROBERTSONIAN HETEROZYGOTES
Abstract:
We present here the classification of synaptonemal complex (SC) configurations in meiotic prophase I in animals heterozygous for Robertsonian (Rb) translocations on the basis of own studies and literature data. Configurations of SC multivalents, due to the homology of Rb metacentrics on one or both arms, as well as the ability of multivalents to form a temporary association, led to the formation of chromosome chains.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
