Hi,
I am trying to find out whether the speed of Meiosis could produce non-
viables gametes or "bad gametes" (gametes with chismata-associated errors,
lack of DNA reparation, etc). There are many animal due to sperm competition
that are able to produce a tremendous amount of sperm in a short period of
time, wouldn't this lead to errors in crossing overs ?
Is it the amount of gametes to produce or the speed at which is produce what
causes non-viability or "bad gametes" ?
Has anyone got any reference or could anyone give an expert opinion ?
Thank you in advance
