Sexual dimorphism in prophase I of meiosis in the Northern mole vole (Ellobius talpinus Pallas, 1770) with isomorphic (XX) chromosomes in males and females
The synaptonemal complex (SC) surface-spreading technique was used to visualize the process of chromosome synapsis in spermatocytes and oocytes of E.talpinus Pallas, 1770, a species with the XX sex chromosome system in both males and females.We used electron microscopy and immunofluorescent localization of synaptonemal complex protein (SCP3) and ce
