ANALYSIS OF MEIOTIC PAIRING IN OLFERSIA AND CONSIDERATION OF THE RECIPROCAL CHIASMATA HYPOTHESIS OF SEX CHROMOSOME CONJUNCTION IN MALE DROSOPHILA

Abstract

SMITH reconciles the evidence of doubleness found by KAUFMANN in homologs which are somatically paired by assuming these cells to be tetraploid, The fact remains that KAUFMA" found no striking evidence for somatic pairing at anaphase but rather that somatic pairing reaches a maximum at prophase.
