| However, in the mouse, cytogenetic examination of chiasmata at diakinesis has been widely used to study genetic recombination. |
| Meiotic prophase can be further divided into leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis stages defined by the state of chromosome pairing and condensation. |
| In the present hybrids, evaluation of the chromosome pairing at diakinesis revealed that quadrivalents occur, but in low frequency, ranging from one to three. |
| Haploid chromosome numbers were determined from cells in diakinesis, metaphase I, and metaphase II of meiosis. |
| In wild-type hermaphrodites, germ cells at the dorsoventral flexure exit the pachytene stage of the first meiotic prophase and proceed to diakinesis. |
| Slides containing F 2 worms were screened for the presence of worms with diakinesis nuclei exhibiting more than six chromatin masses. |
