One protein involved in this process protects Rec8
One protein involved in this process protects Rec8 from being improperly cleaved, and in yeast the gene MAM1 codes for the protein monopolin, which is necessary for the formation of a specialized kinetochore in this process. In yeast, Ime2 fools the cell into DNA replication at its first step, resulting in 4n chromosomes; and in female humans this process results in one oocyte and three polar bodies. For 10 points, name this process of producing haploid cells, which takes twice as many steps as mitosis.
