Examples of "meiotic" in Sentences

A meiotic microtubule doesn't grab a chromosome at random?
At this stage the egg undergoes meiotic division, division without chromosome replication.
In addition, we can detect mosaicism as low as 5 to 20% (varying with the meiotic or mitotic origin of the mosaicism).
Title: Prevention of maternal aging-associated oocyte aneuploidy and meiotic spindle defects in mice by dietary and genetic strategies
That is what drove me to the semi-meiotic hypothesis (SMH) as the only conceivable way that a new species could appear in a single cytogenetic step.
Lande did not include mechanisms like meiotic drive (see “Fixation Within a Deme” for explanation) in his model, letting genetic drift (i.e., chance) be the primary force for fixation within a deme.
Since Lande’s model does not incorporate mechanisms that influence fixation such as meiotic drive and kin-founding, there is reason to believe that the overall fixation probability for human chromosome 2 may be higher than the base calculation for the deme.
For example, although Mendel's law of segregation (M) (which states that in sexually reproducing organisms each of the two alternative forms (alleles) of a gene specifying a trait at a locus in a given organism has 0.5 probability of ending up in a gamete) is widely used in models in evolutionary biology, it has a number of exceptions, such as meiotic drive.
