Adineta vaga meiosis
Until recently, it was considered that the reproductive mode of
Bdelloidea is mitotic
parthenogenesis.
However, recent research with
Adineta vaga now supports a
meiosis derived
oogenesis with an altered
meiosis I stage.
[ During this stage homologous chromosomes associate, likely undergo recombinational repair of DNA damage and then separate, but do not segregate into haploid nuclei.][
