Abstract:
Meiotic pairing behavior of rearranged chromosome segments is compared across an informative series of combinations. The question is raised whether the simplest explanation for some peculiar findings may include a sequence of synaptic precursor events at leptotene or zygotene, the course of which may eventually strongly affect crossover frequency.
