TRANSITION MECHANISM. “Part of the answer seems to be a reduction in the number of COs, since multivalents can only form with at least two COs per chromosome. There is also mounting evidence for genes that have been selected to control pairing behaviour of chromosomes during meiosis, such as ph1 in hexaploid wheat and several candidate genes in polyploid.” Arabidopsis.” (CO = cross-overs).
