A paper about a link between cytoplasmic size and chromosome segregation errors has been published.
The aneuploidy in eggs comes from chromosome segregation errors in oocytes. This paper provides experimental evidence that the uniquely large cytoplasm of the oocyte is linked to the error-prone chromosome segregation. The large cytoplasmic size of the oocyte may represent a trade-off between the fidelity of chromosome segregation and the potential to support post-fertilization embryogenesis.
Hirohisa Kyogoku & Tomoya S. Kitajima:
Large cytoplasm is linked to the error-prone nature of oocytes.
