Meiotic divisions are conserved between yeast and higher eukaryotes including mammals. Cartoon showing the similarities between the meiotic divisions in yeast and mammals. The red and the blue lines represent chromosomes. Pre-meiotic S, pairing and recombination occur in oogenesis and spermatogenesis but have only been drawn for meiosis in yeast for clarity.
