The pattern of sex chromosome kinetochore phosphorylation during nonrandom segregation in a flea beetle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the flea beetle species, Alagoasa bicolor, males have two sex chromosomes, X and Y, each of which is larger than the rest of the genome combined. These large sex chromosomes do not pair at meiosis I, and are therefore not joined at metaphase I. Nevertheless, they always segregate from each other at anaphase I. As prometaphase I progresses, the unpaired X and Y undergo reorientation from a parallel to a linear configuration. Using 3F3/2, an antibody that detects the level of phosphorylation of a kinetochore protein or proteins, we have determined that this reorientation is not accompanied by a change in the level of phosphorylation of the kinetochores of either X or Y. This implies that: i) either the reorientation does not involve the loss or gain of kinetochore microtubules, or ii) if such loss or gain occurs, it does not effect a change in the tension placed on the nonrandomly segregating kinetochores, or iii) the sex chromosomes, as in some other species, have lost the ability to sense kinetochore tension changes. Evolution of nonrandom segregation may necessitate the inability of the participating chromosomes to affect the metaphase checkpoint.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
