A Defective Meiotic Outcome of a Failure in Homologous Pairing and Synapsis Is Masked by Meiotic Quality Control.

Successful gamete production is ensured by meiotic quality control, a process in which germ cells that fail in bivalent chromosome formation are eliminated during meiotic prophase. To date, numerous meiotic mutants have been isolated in a variety of model organisms, using defects associated with a f...
