Hi all,
Last night I made headway on a resampling statistical simulation of
a recominant-inbreeding experiment I'd like to do, but realized there are
some gaps in my knowledge.
When a crossover occurs that resolves giving two products, is it reason-
able to expect that each can end up in a sperm cell? What about during
oogenesis? Does only one end up in an oocyte? If the answer is "yes" in
spermatogenesis--that two (or even four?) sperm result--and if one is a
successful fertilizer, are the others more likely than any random sperm
to fertilize a C. elegans oocyte by virtue of having been ejected by the
male (or hermaphrodite) at about the same time? --John Thaden
