Abstract

Synaptonemal complexes (SCs) have been analyzed in spread Xenopus spermatocytes and oocytes. They showed all the usual features of animal SCs in addition to a high incidence of centromere mismatching. A centriole pair is visible throughout zygotene and pachytene. At zygotene the ends of SCs are markedly thickened and are clustered at the nuclear periphery.
