Adineta vaga meiosis

Until recently, it was considered that the reproductive mode of bdelloid rotifers is mitotic parthenogenesis.^[2] However, recent research with Adineta vaga now supports a meiotic derived oogenesis with an altered meiosis I stage.^[2] During this stage homologous chromosomes associate, likely undergo recombinational repair of DNA damage and then separate, but do not segregate into haploid nuclei.^[2]
