“However, maps generated using molecular markers often have greatly inflated lengths compared with those predicted from chiasma counts.”

“The information processed by the retina reaches the lateral geniculate nucleous after being divided at optic chiasma.”

“The dura that invests the optic chiasma can be traced from the chiasma along the optic nerve.”

“Pressure on the optic chiasm can result in visual defects or even blindness.”

“At the optic chiasm the optic nerve fibres from the nasal halves of the right and left retinas cross to the opposite side.”

“The optic tract and radiation may spread pathology from the optic chiasm to both temporal lobes.”

“The chiasmus points to how the questions function as quasi-incantations rather than genuine queries needing answers.”

“He or she may have heard of alliteration, onomatopoeia, metonymy, synecdoche, and chiasmus.”

“At the crux of these intersecting chiasmas is Mah-to-toh-pa's image, rising on Catlin's canvas from the stain of his pallet.”

“However, in the mouse, cytogenetic examination of chiasmata at diakinesis has been widely used to study genetic recombination.”

“Twelve univalent chromosomes are visible in this diakinesis-stage nucleus, indicating an absence of chiasmata.”

“The absence of chiasmata can readily account for the observed defect in meiotic chromosome segregation.”

“Sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, section by section, Heil connects words and phrases to detect chiasms throughout Hebrews.”

“Emphasis is on repetitions, parallelisms, brackets, chiasms.”

“Consequently, we cannot speak about tautology and one single chiastic transformation, but the relation between the two figures is unfolded in an 'infinite' number of chiasms.”
