Abstract
Meiosis is essential for eukaryotic reproduction and provides the basis for Mendel's segregation laws. A recent study by Lacy et al. identified a significant deviation from these laws in a clonal ant, hinting at a potentially overlooked meiotic feature. This discovery may have broader implications for recombination in nonclonal eukaryotes.
