Abstract We describe the isolation and characterization of Aberrant X segregation (Axs), a dominant female-specific meiotic mutation. Although Axs has little or no effect on the frequency or distribution of exchange, or on the disjunction of exchange bivalents, nonexchange X chromosomes undergo nondisjunction at high frequencies in Axs/+ and Axs/Axs females. This increased X chromosome nondisjunction is shown to be a consequence of an Axs-induced defect in distributive segregation. In Axs-bearing females, fourth chromosome nondisjunction is observed only in the presence of nonexchange X chromosomes and is argued to be the result of improper X and fourth chromosome associations within the distributive system. In XX females bearing a compound fourth chromosome, the frequency of nonhomologous disjunction of the X chromosomes from the compound fourth chromosome is shown to account for at least 80% of the total X nondisjunction observed. In addition, Axs diminishes or ablates the capacity of nonexchange X chromosomes to form trivalents in females bearing either a Y chromosome or a small free duplication for the X. Axs also impairs compound X from Y segregation. The effect of Axs on these segregations parallels the defects observed for homologous nonexchange X chromosome disjunction in Axs females. In addition to its dramatic effects on the X chromosome, Axs exerts a similar effect on the segregation of a major autosome. We conclude that Axs defines a locus required for proper homolog disjunction within the distributive system.
