normal meiosis I normal azygotic meiosis I FYPO:0004797 normal azygotic first meiotic nuclear division A cellular process phenotype in which the first meiotic nuclear division is normal (i.e. indistinguishable from wild type) during a cycle of azygotic meiosis and sporulation. Azygotic meiosis and sporulation occur when meiosis takes place within a diploid cell rather than in a zygote produced by sporulation. Zygotes can resume vegetative growth and form colonies of diploid cells if returned to rich media before commitment to meiosis; under nitrogen starvation, diploid cells heterozygous for mating type will undergo azygotic meiosis. Azygotic asci have a characteristic linear morphology resembling that of a single vegetatively growing cell. normal meiosis I during azygotic meiosis midori 2015-08-07T11:57:35Z
