1966 J. Sybenga in Genetica XXXVII. 188 General occurrence of localization of the function of initiation of chromosome pairing (long-distance attraction) in discrete units on specific loci is considered a useful working hypothesis. In analogy to ‘centromere’, ‘chromomere’ and ‘telomere’ the term ‘zygomere’ is proposed for such units.
1981 Cytologia XLVI. 527 Since the bivalent formation has not been disturbed, at least one of two zygomeres seems to be able to have a complete activity.
