ScienceSex without crossovers reportedly mimics clonal reproduction in Rhynchospora tenuis
Nature reports that Rhynchospora tenuis lacks chromosome crossovers across its genome during both male and female meiosis.
TLDR
Nature describes research finding that sex without crossovers mimics clonal reproduction in Rhynchospora tenuis. It reports an obligatory absence of crossovers—the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes—across the genome during both male and female meiosis.
